Samwel
received a $493 initial payment.
"The biggest difference that the transfer has brought into our lives is that my two children who are in secondary school are happy. This is because they can now study well without troubling themselves thinking that they are going to be sent home anytime due to arrears. The transfer also enabled us to buy some food and some furniture because we didn't have any. We hence no longer go hungry and when guests visit, they at least have something to sit on. All these have only been possible with the help that GiveDirectly has given us. I am so grateful for this, may God bless you."
