Joyce
received a $450 second payment.
"My life has improved now because I got back my farm land after paying a debt. I have cultivated on it a variety of crops and I expect a good harvest. We purchased a motorbike that has eased transportation for family members. It also does boda boda business hence generating income to the family for meeting the basic needs like food and medical expenses. Before, I completely had no land and depended on casual labour for the family's survival."
