received a $240 second payment.
"The biggest difference in my daily life is the joy I have from restoring my fish vending business with the first transfer and now I am getting profits from it which assist me to pay my family's bills especially at this time when my husband is bedridden due to an accident he had. I am also hopeful of building a decent house in my own homestead since I have already bought the necessary building materials to necessitate this project which I have been longing for in along time hence I will be freed from the challenges of staying in a leaky grassed thatched house which is almost collapsing in my parent's -laws homestead."

Carren
received a $481 second payment.
"The biggest difference in my daily life is the happiness I have gained from expanding my fish vending business and now I am selling this fish in external town too that being Kisumu from the doubled profits I am able to pay school fees for my children and also provide for them there basic needs.I am freed from the life of poverty which forced me at a point of time to boiling water and give my children as meals on several occasions and upon looking through their eyes it used to pain me since I couldn't think of a probable way to get out of this situation. I am a happy widow now who has found confidence and hope from GiveDirectly's money."
