"GD is less bureaucratic in giving out transfers than other Ngos. Their enrollment processes require less movement from one office to the other and least paper work."

received a $496 second payment.
"Other NGOs have many intermediaries before any assistance gets to an individual, this has led to corruption as they ask for bribes, while GD deals directly with an individual and sends the transfers directly to him or her and they can decide how to spend it."
