Lucia
received a $368 second payment.
"Give Directly has gotten aid directly to the people of my village. They did not go through the chiefs in the area when selecting participants. They directly brought us the aid they wanted to give us. This has been very good because there has been no favouritism. All the members of my community have benefitted very fairly from the money GD has provided to us."

Lima
received a $368 second payment.
"I have been so much happier since I received the transfers from GD. I am able to better my life. I was really poor, unable to afford most basics. I am now in a better position to afford to live a better life. I did not have a nice place to sleep but I bought a mattress where I now sleep. I have built a house and now can proudly say it is almost finished. I was also unable to afford other small everyday things like food, school fees and clothes. I can now afford all these and my children look better."
