received a $493 second payment.
"Other NGOs are corrupt and selective because ever since they started working in the village i have never been enrolled and they give stuff that does not address immediate needs of recipients like water tanks, mattresses. But with GD everyone is reached, and money is sent directly to be used as recipient desires. "
