Christina
received a $520 second payment.
"My life is different from how it would in that I was able to pay school fees arrears that had accumulated over time. It had reached a point where we were planning to sell a piece of our land to cater for all the expenses I had. I can't express my joy for retaining my piece of land because of the help I receive from Give Directly. I am glad that my son would be finishing school next year, this means my expenses will have reduced and I will have enough money to start other projects before I think of taking him to college."

David
received a $520 second payment.
"My life is different in that I was already planning to sell a piece of land in order to pay my children's school fees. I had tried all means of getting the money that would enable me to pay my children's school fees but in vain. So the idea of selling a piece of my land came in. But just in time, Give Directly came in and I was able to save my land. I am also a proud owner of an Ironed roofed house for the first time! Owning such a house was only a dream for me and I am happy that Give Directly made it a possibility."
