Musa
received a $491 second payment.
"During the post election violence of 2007, we were among the people who were adversely affected. We were forced to migrate from Naivasha town where we left behind and lost all our properties including land and therefore receiving transfers from Give Directly was a blessing to us from God, that we managed to acquire our own land in Homabay County and this will soon mark the end of our desperate situation of homelessness, the biggest difference in my daily life."
