Elvis
received a $531 second payment.
"I feel so happy and empowerd to approach life with much dignity and self-esteem. I bought a dairy cow that is soon calving and hopefully will provide me with milk and ghee. This will improve on my food security and nutrition. I intend to sell the surplus which will add on my cash flow. This will enable me pay timely school fees with ease. My children will no longer be sent home as before when they used to miss lessons and exams due to lack of school fees. I also bought a water tank that I would like to harvest and store rain water. I hope this will save me from the daily budget for water during dry season and instead divert the money to buy food for my family members. As a subsistence farmer, I managed to plough a piece of land that I have already planted maize and beans, this will improve on my food security and the money I initially used to buy food can be saved and channelled to future plan of constructing a better house. Thanks to GiveDirectly that has enabled me to meet the goals of my life which I really longed for but could not manage any due to lack of steady and reliable income."
