Eunice
received a $548 initial payment.
"The moment we got the money from Give Directly, we thank God and Give Directly for the money as we had no food and school fees for our child who had been sent home for fees. Immediately we purchased some food and clear the school fee balances which gave us a peace of mind to do other things."

Rose
enrolled.
"The biggest hardship I face is not having a job so that I can be able to support my family's needs. I depend on money given to me by my husband. Being that we are polygamous, the money is shared between the wives and often it is not enough to cater for our basic needs like food and clothing. "
