received a $543 initial payment.
"The biggest difference in my life is that now I got peace in my heart after I cleared all the debt I had. Before, I would shy off from meeting my lenders as I was worried that they would ask me for their money. Now am happy having no debt and my child has received her certificate after clearing her school fees arreas. She is now ready to join college soon."

received a $543 initial payment.
"The biggest difference in my daily life is the completion of the construction. I had given up on completing the construction after my husband lost the job he used to do hence making it hard for us to provide for my growing family and completing the house construction. I am so happy currently to live in a good house I had wished for long to have it."
