What does receiving this money mean to you?
At first I was just hearing about this program but when I was told GD was coming to our village I was so happy because I knew that the coming of GD to our village means I will be able to receive some ash relief which will help me to renovate my dilapidated house; be able to purchase some food items and buy enough fertilizers for the next growing season
