Matthew received a $263 initial payment.
"After receiving payment from GiveDirectly, the biggest difference in my daily life is that my life is now filled with so much joy seeing my kids myself neatly looking and going to school. For the past couple of years my children and I have been living in poverty. For this reason I couldn't even afford to buy us clothes to wear. Even their uniforms for school was never decently looking because they had to wear them for years. Helpfully, GiveDirectly came with this mind blowing opportunity. However, with my recent transfer I used most of the money to buy Clothes for all my children and I also bought clothes for myself. The remaining money was spend on buying food stuff for the family."
