Doris
received a $275 second payment.
"GiveDirectly in my opinion is doing well by changing lives and making a lasting impact in our communities. In addition, the manner in which their staff carry themselves, it is an example of a good institution and I must applaud them for that. I can't lay my hand on anything they don't do well if you may ask me."

Easter
received a $275 third payment.
"My primary objective at the moment is to complete my house project. Therefore, as soon as I received my transfer, I bought 2 bundles of zinc for $21,000LD. I also used portion of my transfer to buy 2 cartons of nails (zinc nails & mixed nails) to roof my house. My balance transfer was used to buy 6 gallons of gasoline for $6,000LD. The gas will be given to the sawyer to produce enough plank so that my house can be roofed."
