Gladys
enrolled.
"I am a widowed mother of five children. Before my husband passed on, things were a little better for me. This was largely because I received a lot of support from him in running the affairs of our family. Currently, I am left with two children still under my care. The rest have moved in with their spouses and started their families. The two that I am left with are in their secondary level of education. Getting money to pay their school fees has been a toll order for me. This is because I almost entirely depend on small business of selling vegetables at a nearby market to make ends meet. This lack of school fees recently forced one of my daughters to drop out of school. The last born son is yet to join secondary too. This is a huge challenge to me especially when I know that there is no one to run to. I can only hope that things change for the better and I get money to take my two children back to school."

Helena
received a $239 second payment.
"I spent most of my second transfer on buying house building materials.
I have been living in a very deplorable house which got me very sick.
Each time it rains,I would sit the whole night worrying and praying that the house shouldn't fall on me.
So upon getting my recent transfer I decided building a new house for my family."
