received a $299 second payment.
"I spent my recent transfer on my children education. My children have been in school, because of low income, I have not been able to pay their fees on time. I am a farmer, the little money I earn from the crops is not sufficient to pay their fees in school. I also bought some cement with some of my transfer to imptove my house. I am grateful to GiveDirectly for this transfer that has enable my children to be in school."

"In my opinion, GiveDirectly program that is reaching out to poor people like us is very helpful and good. I also love the way GiveDirectly sends us the transfer directly to our mobile accounts without any third party being involve. The way they talk to me too is also nice; that is why I have nothing wrong to say about GiveDirectly right now. Everything is okay to me."
