Bii
received a $22 initial payment.
"I am now stable and now I have peace of mind and there is less stress in my house. I have hope that my plans will be accomplished. Before these transfers for instance I had stress everyday especially at 6 PM because I would be asked money for food.It was painful going with an empty sack to the maize mills instead of carrying maize from my own farm. But now my countenance has changed and am now happier than before."
