Mamie
received a $299 second payment.
"I have been suffering because my house is very old. When ever it rains, my house gets wet because the grass thatch that the building is roof with leaks. When I got my first transfer, I bought zinc to change my house entire roof. With my second transfer, I have developed a new goal to pay my children school fees. I am a farmer and I used everything I get from my farm to feed my family. This transfer has started changing my family living condition because I will soon improve my house, and my children are in school. I appreciate GiveDirectly for my transfer."

Momo
received a $299 second payment.
"In my opinion, I love everything about GiveDirectly. GiveDirectly people can't lie about their program. Whatsoever they say is what they will do. They told us that they were going to send us $1,000 USD per household and they are sending it to us as promised. I really thought it was a lie because I haven't seen it since I started knowing myself in this town. I have not seen any bad thing about GiveDirectly yet; everything is okay with me."

""I have been living with extended family but they were unable to send me to school and so because of that I'm uneducated today. With the cash transfer from Give Directly I'm will make sure my children receive a better education , Rebuild my house to a modern design and invest the remaining money in my wife's oil making business. I will believe if my children are educated I'm no longer going to do hard farm work."
