Benard
received a $236 initial payment.
"I have a lot of time to use to do my own projects in my farm. Unlike before when I used to work in other peoples farms without rest. Currently,I do the taxi business till mid morning and get back to my farm and work in handling livestock and sometimes tea picking .I then go back to taxi in the evening . This provides a good balance and I get more from my efforts than before I received this transfer.It would not have been possible without Give Directly."
