Rose
received a $449 second payment.
"Currently, my life has changed in that, I am happy because I have never held such a big amount of money like this in my life, money which is given without strings attached to it. previously, I used to split my crop harvest into two, part of it to sell and the other to eat. That small amount of money would not make any significant change in my life."

Rose
received a $449 second payment.
"My life is now different in that, I have constructed a beautiful permanent house. The price of good quality thatch material has gone high of late and this has made it very expensive to sleep in a thatched house. This is because on average a thatched house needs to be renovated annually."
