Berida
received a $469 initial payment.
"My daily life's biggest difference is the proper feeding and improved health I get since I am able to afford a balanced diet and timely medication. Prior to getting this transfer, feeding and proper treatment were my greatest challenge. If I ever got sick, I had to wait going to hospital since I had no means to treatment and I could wait for over a week, month or a times get well without getting treatment. This kept illnesses to pile up. Therefore, getting this money has made me extremely happy and my daily life in this old age worth living. "

Grace
received a $469 initial payment.
"The biggest difference in my daily life is being able to feed my family consistently and reliably. This is because I can buy and stock food as compared to before when I had to wait on for the crops to be harvested. During that mid period, there is always serious famine which at this time has not affected my family.
In addition to the above, hiring a piece of farm has given me relief knowing that I will use it for as long as I want until the owner refunds my money. This will then relive me from hiring land on a yearly basis. I can now save up the money and use it for other things."
