Kanze
received a $484 second payment.
"We were used to getting support in terms of relief food which was for a very short period of time. We did not experience a big impact thus we still lived in poverty. Getting the unconditional transfers from GiveDirectly was the best strategy to uplift our living standards. We have been able to improve our lives because we are now enjoying good shelter, paying fees and owning livestock as assets. In my opinion,giving us the freedom to decide on what to spend the transfers on is what GiveDirectly does well. I do not see anything that GiveDirectly does not do well."

"If I did not receive these transfers I would have been in a lot of problems. This is because I am very old and I cannot work but with these transfers I am happy and my children are also happy. They go to school happy because they have had a proper meal in the morning. I am very grateful to GiveDirectly."
