Enoka
received a $484 second payment.
"The biggest difference in my daily life is that am now hopeful of having my own homestead hence I'll be able to make my own decisions, unlike now that am staying in my boss' house. Am also having a solar lamp so my children won't be using the tin lamp for their night studies as always and I'll also be saving the money supposed to go for kerosene. Thanks to GiveDirectly."
