Elizabeta
received a $446 second payment.
"My life is different in that, I have been in position to purchase all the required materials to construct a permanent house for my self. I have also accessed medical treatment easily as a result of this transfer. I'm currently sleeping in a grass thatched hut that leaks whenever it rains and renovating my hut is difficult because the grass is very scarce in our community. I would have been in debts of paying my medical bills or I couldn't have got any treatment at all."
