Joyce
received a $493 second payment.
"I spend part of the money I received from GiveDirectly to buy building materials ready to build a spacious kitchen house, I also used some amount to buy a heifer, I always buy milk daily and it's so costly for me. I bought clothes and food for the family because we didn't had enough in store during that time when I received the second transfer. Finally I saved some money to pay school fees for my daughter who is yet to join form one this year. I am so grateful for the support."
