Samuel
received a $468 third payment.
"In my opinion, I can say that Give Directly does well by sending us money directly just like its name. This has increased the confidentiality that we needed, however, I would personally request if possible it reduces the number of lumpsums from 2 to 1 so that we may be able to accomplish bigger projects."

"In my opinion, GiveDirectly works well by initiating projects in different parts of the nation and ensuring that such projects are implemented, something that is very contrary to other organisations which has worked in my village before."

Turphosa
received a $468 third payment.
"Initially, I was homeless. I was sharing a house with my co-wife and this was really daunting. I was never free till I received this money that gave me a break through. I am glad that even as we speak, I have my own house with a good security system where we live more comfortably."
