Agness
received a $336 second payment.
"Honestly I do not see anything that GiveDirectly does not do well. The organization does well by not allowing any form of favouritism to take any center stage in all the processes and procedures i.e. from census, registration to actual sending of transfers."

Patuma
enrolled.
"This money means a good house for me. The one I was a living in is no longer habitable due to heavy leakage. Hence this money will be used to build a better house and have a good sleeping place for me and my unborn child. I am glad the child will find a beautiful house and good clothes. I also look forward to do a small gardening business of vegetables."

"I always struggle with my sleeping place as it is not good and always having back pains since we don't have a good mattress nor good beddings. This also speaks a lot about the overall look of the house since every season we have to thatch it."
