Gabriel
received a $530 initial payment.
"The biggest difference in my daily life is that through the transfer, I cleared school fees for my son who is in high school. He had been sent home for some weeks ago before the transfers were sent and I could not raise the amount that had accumulated for several terms. I am happy that GiveDirectly came to my aid, by giving us the unconditional transfers. I feel good knowing that he will comfortably continue with his studies without any interruptions."
