Elizabeth
received a $449 second payment.
"My life is different than it would have been because I have been able to construct an iron sheet roofed house, and feeding is better in that I am able to change diet regularly. This has brought happiness in my life. Before, my life was full of stress on how to stand for my family ever since spouse past away. "

Simon
received a $449 second payment.
"My life is different than it would have been because I now have pride and self esteem since there's money to acquire whatever is lacking at home if my wife requests. Before, it was difficult for me to exercise my duties as a man in the home without money."

Nakiria
received a $468 initial payment.
"When I received my money, I felt so anxious and happy at that moment. This is because I knew that the problem of sleeping in a small congested leaking house had come to an end. I would be constructing a permanent spacious iron roofed house."

Derick
received a $23 twelfth payment.
"I will be saving cash every single cash so that I can be able to buy a new motorbike of my own because right now I work for somebody who has entrusted me with his motorbike. So our agreement is that I have to give daily returns to the owner of the motorbike which again leaves me with very little cash at my disposal."

Pascalia
received a $530 second payment.
"My life is different than it would have been if I never received the transfer because we currently reside in a new house. Accordingly, we enjoy a warmer house whose roof is not leaking, unlike the one we had before. Besides, my two daughters have ample time to study since I got sufficient funds for paying their school fees. Subsequently, they have more time to study rather than being sent home to collect arrears. Moreover, we look more presentable and happier since we have purchased new clothes. We could still be wearing torn and worn out clothes."

Alphones
received a $550 initial payment.
"The biggest difference in my daily life is that the transfer has enabled me to pay for my children's school fees who are in high school. The arrears had accumulated to a point that I had to seek loans from my neighbours in order for them to stay in school. I am now at peace because of the financial assistance from GiveDirectly."
