Nathan
received a $490 initial payment.
"The transfer has brought a very big difference in my life and that of my family. Having bought the cow that I have always wanted, I no longer incur the cost of buying milk and thus I have been able to save some money. With the money saved, I will now be able to repay back the motorcycle loan without failure hence I will no longer be in arrears. Thank you so much GiveDirectly for making this possible."
