Rechinah
received a $542 initial payment.
"It was in the morning as I was going on with my daily activities when my daughter informed me that I had received the money that GiveDirectly had promised us. At that instant, I was filled with happiness and I stopped what I was doing. I accompanied my daughter back home so that we could pray together as a family to thank God for His abundant mercies and blessings which He had showered unto us through GiveDirectly."
