Lucy
received a $452 second payment.
"My household was full of inadequacies, the provision of this cash transfer through GiveDirectly provided relief to me and my household members. I used to be stressed on how to sort family problems but now that is history. Paying medical bills, tuition, feeding and accommodation had been major challenges but through the support, I can say that they are now sorted."

Florence
received a $452 second payment.
"My life is different in many ways than it would have been if I never received these transfers because I have shifted from a grass thatched house to a permanent house, I have paid school fees, debts and bought household Items which were lucking in my home. My life is at peace now because previously I never stopped thinking how I was going to pay off the debt I acquired and so many other needs required in the household."

Clare
received a $452 second payment.
"My life is different in that I also feel respected in the community because I have built a nice house. Before I received this cash transfer I was idle without any job opportunity. The cash transfer empowered me to build a house and start a comfortable life. I am now volunteering and looking forward to getting a good paying job."

"Had I not received GiveDirectly cash transfer, I would be sleeping in a leaky grass thatched house. Thanks be to GiveDirectly who have enabled me sleep in a better iron roofed house, specious enough to stay in."
