Joyce
received a $477 initial payment.
"The biggest difference in my daily life is that i sleep well confortably on a mattress and I nolonger suffer with cold in the night when it rains because I have repaired my house,previously,I was sleeping on a mat and my house was open on one side and it would get so cold that I could not sleep in the night.
I could worry that one day the house would fall over me any time,but right now I have no more worries.
My family and I can now eat in time,unlike before when I had to go to look for work and after getting paid is when my family would eat,I was not sure of a meal until I get work and get paid.
I am also dressed well now,because I was able to buy clothing for myself and for my family members.I used to lack clothes and I had old and worn out clothes."
