Reuben
received a $531 second payment.
"I lost my job so many years ago, and I was stranded with the children in the house. People used to gossip on how I will manage to educate my children because there was no stable income. At the moment, I have managed to clear all the fees balance for the whole semesters for my two sons. I could now think of other issues but not school fees."

Pamela
received a $550 initial payment.
"When I received money, I was very happy. My past life was very pathetic and I could not get assistance from anybody. My only son is also poor and could not take care of me since he has a family to take care of too. With the money received, I was hopeful that all my needs will be met. I sleep comfortably in bed which I didn't have before and right now I am capable of accessing my basic needs like food, clothing, and good shelter. Finally, I will be able get clean water directly from my water tank."
