Mwalimu
received a $522 second payment.
"My life is different in that I can now construct a house which I was unable to, and I can also afford food for my family. I would have to struggle a lot to look for work, which are not always easy to come by, before I could build my own house or afford decent meals."

Daniel
received a $540 initial payment.
"I had been dreaming of getting some amount of money to repair my house but this was just a dream given that I am an orphan life was unfair I could tell myself that. Receiving such an amount from GD was a dream come true just like in the fairy tales. I felt blessed and favored like God had answered my long awaited prayer."
