  1. Why not stop the grants for children not yet born. Keep the existing grants but only limit for any newborn to 1 one per parent as some youngsters, females , keep having unplanned children and because they expect these grants to support their irresponsible pregnancies. Once this is in place see how quickly they get themselves out of the poverty they put themselves in
