"The biggest hardship I've faced in my life is lack of adequate resources to provide basic needs and quality education to my children. As a sole family provider, it has always been difficult to raise school fee for my two children who are in secondary school. I depend on government sponsorships like CDF in most cases."

Immaculate
received a $448 second payment.
"They did well to help with money that uplifted the family. However I think GD should increase these transfers from 3333000 to 5000000 because there are so many things that require more money like Education needs a lot of money."
