The payment was done at the Kaase M/A Prim./J.H.S which has been the payment point for beneficiaries within the municipality.

The beneficiaries were urged to use the funds to cater for their dietary needs while care-givers should also provide basic and educational needs of the orphans and vulnerable children to enable them stay in school
