Umali
received a $348 initial payment.
"My life has changed so much. As a man, I am suppose to be a provider to the family but somehow I was failing my duties. We had no food, beddings and shelter. I tried so had to do piece work on farms but the payment was so little that it only allows us to buy food to take us for two days. At times I could work in exchange of clothes for my family. In short, life was very hard. The coming in of GD night nto the village has given me an opportunity to provide for my family in the best way possible. I have started a small business with the transfer and I was able to buy basic needs for my family."
