Kabibi
received a $467 second payment.
"I do not have new goals for now and I am grateful for the ones I archived. First, the fact that I am now sleepy on better beddings has restored the lost joy in my life. Earlier on, I used to sleep on traditional beds which I was not comfortable with. I have been suffering from back pains as a result. Also, there was no privacy sharing the same beds with my children. I am now a happy mother since everyone sleeps in her bed."

Alice
received a $276 second payment.
"I have already been able to build a new house which I will be moving in with my family few days from now. Having a new house was my primary concern from the beginning when I started recieving payments. Now that the house is completed, my new goal before recieving this transfer is to invest into cassava farming. Through this, I will be able to make more profits that will sustain me and my family when I shall have harvested the cassava and process it into Fufu and sell it on the market."

Kana
received a $467 second payment.
"According to me, the organization has been doing perfectly well in every household within the village. First, the registration was free and fair, also everyone received the same amount of money as promised. The cash transfer was sent directly into our phones without involving any governmental office. Therefore I do not see any sector in which GiveDirectly needs to change."

Leonard
received a $467 second payment.
"God willing, I would like to start an electronics shop in five months. This is because as a mobile electrician it will help save time that would be spent looking for work materials. Therefore I will get a chance to attend to more customers hence more income."
