Kahaso
received an initial payment.
"It was on 2nd December 2022 when I received a call from one of the GiveDirectly agents. He requested to know whether I had received the and I boldly said no because I did not know that the money was sent to my account three weeks before that day. Since I could not follow the steps of checking for my account balance as he was directing me, the agent requested to speak to my helper. Luckily, the helper had just arrived from her place of work. Upon confirming, the helper informed me that the money was in my account. On hearing that, I was overjoyed in happiness for seeing the money and at the same time, I blamed myself for illiteracy. In the past few days, I went without yet I had $550 in my account."

Kaneno
received an initial payment.
"The biggest difference in my life is that I am optimistic that I would be able to own a nice structure. This will restore the joy in my life since we would no longer have to speed sleepless nights due to the leaking roof. Moreover, I can provide for the basic needs of the family like food without any struggle and our kids no longer go to bed without food."
