received a $517 second payment.
"My life is different than how it would have been had I not received the transfer because I now have a dairy cow that I did not have before. I believe that it will be calving very soon and J will no longer continue buying milk. Also, we live in an old small house that cannot accommodate us comfortably. I believe that this will end soon since I am planning to fix windows in mg newly built house so that we can relocate to it."

Tapnyobi
received a $517 second payment.
"My life is different than how it would have been had I not received the transfer because I now own an extra dairy cow. Due to this, my income from dairy farming has increased and I have been able to meet our daily needs on time. Also, I believe that I will have a good harvest this year that will last us till the next harvesting season. This is because I was able to practice timely cultivation and used hybrid maize seeds this season."

Rosemary
received a $517 second payment.
"The biggest difference in my life is the school fees which I paid for my children. None of them was sent home after I cleared their school fees. As a parent I would be so stressed whenever my children were sent home to collect school fees. Give Directly enabled me to do so and I thank the organization for implementing such a project in our village."
