received a $484 second payment.
"I have experienced very big differences in my daily life since I began receiving transfers from GiveDirectly. My standard of living has greatly increased beyond I ever expected. The fact that my family can easily access three meals in a day is something I never dreamt of ever achieving. GiveDirectly has impacted much in me that no single NGO will ever outdo."
