Kadzo
received a $502 initial payment.
"It was around 9 AM when I was from the farm then I heard my phone ringing which was notifying me of a new message. I decided to ask my son to check what the notification was all about. After checking, he realized that it was an Mpesa message from GiveDirectly. I was overwhelmed with joy and without wasting, I decided to plan how best I could utilize it."
