Caren
received a $484 second payment.
"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I managed to till my farms without begging support from neighbours.

My children are also able to study easily at night with the use of solar lamp, unlike before when they used a tin lamp which could go off due to lack of kerosene and leave them undone."
