Martin
received a $468 third payment.
"I spent my third transfer on constructing a spacious house to replace the old and tiny one that I had before that could not allow for accommodation of all my family members and any other household item that I owned. Other than that, i purchased some livestock with intentions of selling them out in times of financial crisis rather than calling out for support from other people at these times"

Roseline
received a $485 third payment.
"In my opinion, GiveDirectly did well by giving money directly without involving middle -men such as local administration,however GiveDirectly did not do well by leaving out some of the community members who were ineligible. My plea is that if GiveDirectly could give them a chance too."
