received a $364 second payment.
"Absolutely yes. I became confident and started seeing the positive side of my when I heard the news that I will receive money from GD. I never thought that I can have this opportunity in my life.
When GD came in our village, I started thinking on how best I can use my money and I set some tangible goals. I thought of improving my house and I am happy that this has been done. I have managed to plaster my house with the cement I bought.
I also thought of improving my sleeping place. So I managed to buy some blackects for the family. I also planned to boost food production and I bought all needed farm inputs."

Roza
received a $364 second payment.
"First of all I would like to thank this organisation for enrolling me in this kind of program. To be honest yes, I have goals I didn't have before receiving this transfer. Apparently my main occupation is farming and for the past years I have been falling to cultivate much crops because of inadequate farm inputs. When I got enrolled in this program I saw it as an opportunity to invest much in my farming. I have managed to secure 2 bags of fertilizer. I know this wouldn't have been possible if Give Directly didn't give me an opportunity to receive these transfers.
I have also thought of renovating my house and in addition to the farming inputs, I have bought 6 bags of cement which will be used to plaster my house. Once again thank you GiveDirectly for the transfers. Receive my gratitude."

Esnart
received a $364 second payment.
"I don't have a reliable source of income and it has been very difficult to make goals in life. The only money I get goes straight to buying food.
I have been desiring to build a house all my life. It's just been a dream and on my own I failed to do something to cultivate the dream. I was moved to set up some goals when I heard that I will received money from GD. My whole life dream was not left out and it was the main goal to be achieved with the transfer. I bought all materials needed to build my house and I am happy that the project is on. I am so grateful."
