received a $481 second payment.
"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I never imagined in my life that I would ever have a spacious house due to my extreme poverty , but because of GD I have achieved this. In addition , my son used to be depressed because his tiny house leaked whenever it rained, but of late he has a lot of joy since I build a new house for him. God bless you GD for making these things possible in our lives."

Elizabeth
received a $481 second payment.
"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I have managed build a permanent toilet in my household since previously I had a weak semi-permanent toilet which eventually collapsed rendering my family and I to practice open defecation which was unhygienic practice that could predispose us on fecal-oral diesease. I have also completed paying my child's school fees arrears with the first transfer and now I am happy seeing her go to school with ease as opposed to before when she would be sent home on several occasions due to school fees arrears."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I live more peacefully. This is after clearing school fees for my children in a secondary school, which was really giving me a lot of stress before then- I never had money to sustain their education and therefore I am sincerely grateful to Give Directly for their intervention."

received a $481 second payment.
"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I have managed to acquire bulls, which will facilitate me prepare larger piece of land and grow more crops to get enough food. It happens that my wife and I are raising 12 children and producing enough to feed them has always been an uphill task. Thank you GD for supporting us in making food production more efficient, since in my view, once I get sufficient food at family level, other things will work out."
