George
received a $481 second payment.
"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I own a cow which is a great investment since it will reproduce to younger ones and milk in the near future. I would then change the cow back to money when I will be in need especially in paying my children's school fees and when that time comes, I will be having not just a cow but cows which I would be able to sell some and still have one or two left."

Gorety
received a $481 second payment.
"The biggest difference in my daily life: my life has greatly changed since my husband had abandoned me in a small house and lived with his second wife in Kampala while I was left to fend for the children on my own. My husband had not been home for 15 years but when I told him about some charity organization (GD) that gives cash and that I was lucky to receive this money and that he should come back and build me a home, he did not even argue with me as he used to. He came home, build me a descent house where am now living with my children. Today am peace and even if he goes back and stays forever, I would not even bother looking for him because am in a better house. GD has greatly impacted in my life and I thank God GD."
