Mary
received a $273 initial payment.
"When GIVE DIRECTLY came here, they told us that our money was going to come on our phone, for this reason at times people from this village carry their phone to the place that has network connection to check and see if GIVE DIRECTLY has sent the transfer. One day, my uncle came running in the town to tell us that he has received transfer from GIVE DIRECTLY, when I heard this, I ran quickly for my phone and ran to where we have network connection.
I put my phone on and after a little while I saw that I have received money from GIVE DIRECTLY. I was so excited because at that very moment my four year old daughter was ill for some days now and I didn't have a dime to take her to the hospital. When I saw the transfer, I was really excited."
