Yusuf
received a $475 third payment.
"Life way before GiveDirectly sent me money was a life of a struggle ,I used to leave in a grassed thatched house which when it rained mostly at night we could stand the whole night with my four children at the safest point of the house since it used to leak hence I spent my third transfer on building a decent two roomed iron sheet house and now I am happy since I have gotten a house I was dreaming of for a long time . I also paid school fees for my four children who are in primary and nusery school respectively."
