received a $490 initial payment.
"The biggest difference that the transfer has brought into my life and that of my children is that they no longer have to worry about being sent home due to failure to pay their school fees. This is because I was able to pay their school fees with part of the money that I got from GiveDirectly."

Princess
enrolled.
"Unreliable source of income is the greatest challenge that I am currently facing. For the past three years I have not been fortunate to secure a job to earn an income. This makes it very difficult for me to provide for my family. Most days we go to bed hungry because what we have to eat per day is not always enough."
