Jane
received a $483 second payment.
"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I'm relieved from the stress caused by searching school fee for my children since I managed to pay them most of their fee. Besides, I now live in a house which doesn't leak. Previously, my iron roofed house was leaking because it was too old and I was being forced to rush to my brother in law for safety when raining."

received a $483 second payment.
"The biggest difference in my daily life is that currently, I run a barber shop and a general shop-selling packets of bread, and other low order goods. I started the businesses with the first transfer and they have kept me committed since then. I can now earn from them and fend for my household members more easily as opposed to before when I fully relied on my husband to provide everything-due to his low income, he could fail us."

"The biggest difference in my life is that I now have a good flow of income from the motorcycle business. I was facing a lot of financial constraints because the motorcycle was grounded and could not repair it due to financial constrains. Apart from that, my house is completely smart after repairing it with the first transfer."

"In my opinion, what GD does well is that it has brought a lot of positive development in my community mostly to the very poor. At the moment, I'm not certain of what GD doesn't do well."
