Thereser
received a $243 second payment.
"" I am an old woman now, and my husband is old too. We have lived in this make-shift hut gor many years now. The roof of the hut is papoo and thatch and it leaks alot. My husband does not have the strength to fix papoo for us to cover the leakages. Therefore, I bought an additional one bundle of zinc to add it the one I bought when I got the first transfer from GiveDirectly. I want to build a new house. I have hire people to cut sticks for our new house"."
