Joyce
received a $97 initial payment.
"Give Directly had promised us the money and therefore this is something that we had been eagerly waiting for so when I received it, I felt happy and decompressed. The anxiety diminished and the next thing I did was to run to the nearest shop and buy something for us to eat since we never had food."

Linet
received a $97 initial payment.
"The moment I received my money from Give Directly, I felt relieved and decompressed. Even my children became very excited since they knew that they would stay longer in school. Before then, they could be desperate because most of the time, they were on the road sent home for school fees while the rest could be in class learning."
