Joseph
received a $481 second payment.
"The biggest difference I can mention in my daily life since I started receiving transfers from Give Directly is the fact that I have abandoned open defecation and we are now using a latrine. We suspect that open defecation was the major cause of massive loss of our chicken due to constant disease outbreaks. We haven't experienced any loss since we started using the latrine."
