Linet
received a $484 second payment.
"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I am happy and relieved since GiveDirectly gave me an opportunity of educating my children as one of my children who had completed his high school education had stayed at home without furthering his education for two good years due to lack of money to fund his education and now I can say that I am certain of a brighter future for them. Thanks to GiveDirectly for rescuing me at my last point of hopelessness."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I am happier now living in a three roomed house that I have been dreaming of in a long time and my neighbors are perplex with the change of my living standards in a short period of time since I had lost hope of achieving this goal as the house I was staying in before the transfer was a small leaky grassed thatched house and as a result I was a laughing stack in my village.I am thankful to GiveDirectly for restoring my humanity."
