received a $298 second payment.
"From my own point of view, GiveDirectly own idea of giving us money to improve our poor status is out of this world. I having observed anything negative about GiveDirectly since I started receiving transfer. These people have done so much to make our lives better. I am thankful to God for everyone at GD who is working tirelessly to change our poor lives through money transfer."

The little money I've been saving before I received my transfer from GiveDirectly was used to do my registration in Yarpah's Town Public School. I'm so pleased having been able to accomplished all of these through GD financial assistance."
