Julianah
received a $536 initial payment.
"It was some minutes past 5 AM when I was awoken by an income message notification on my phone. I reluctantly checked the message and to my surprise, it was a confirmation message that I had received money from GiveDirectly. I was so happy and went ahead to wake my husband inform of the good new. We were both so happy and thankful to GiveDirectly."
