Charles
received a $479 initial payment.
"It was almost 4 pm and I was at home with my wife. I was done with the day's work and I was just relaxing taking tea when suddenly my phone rang hence notifying me of a new message. I stopped to check it, and wow! I could not believe my eyes when I saw that I had received KES 55000 in my mobile money account. I was so happy and I shared the good news with my wife who was so happy too when she heard about it. We celebrated together and we thanked God for the blessing."

Avason
received a $479 second payment.
"My new goal if I was to get money, is to buy more land. I would like to do so because I live on a small piece of land, that is, three points of an acre, and hence it is not enough to practice agricultural activities such as rearing a cow. Getting more land will enable me to rear my cows comfortably."

Chemutai
received a $463 second payment.
"GiveDirectly did well by conducting a meeting with the community members before embarking on the enrollment. We were taught well in the meeting and the people got to learn a lot about GiveDirectly and the program. Other than that, I also liked the fact that there was no biasness in the enrollment process. Everyone was enrolled as long as you were meeting their selection criteria. I hence do not see anything wrong with the way they conducted their work."
