Elizabeth
received a $484 second payment.
"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I now have a solar lamp hence I no longer buy kerosene and I no longer pay to charge my phone because I have my own solar. I also don't have cold nights because I managed to complete my house which I had built after being given iron sheets by some well-wishers but I got stuck along the way."

Francis
received a $484 second payment.
"My husband has been suffering from diabetes and this has become even more severe. He couldn't eat and we couldn't eat too due to stress of her sickness. We never had money to take him to the hospital till we started receiving transfers from Give Directly that enabled us to rush him to the hospital to seek for medication-I can say it is a big difference to notice that he is currently more stable, he can eat and we can eat too since stress has plummeted."
