Jael
received a $482 second payment.
"The biggest difference in my daily life is that as we talk, I live in my own house more peacefully. I built my own iron-roofed house and therefore I am no longer homeless as I used to be before then. I have realized that through Give Directly, peace is possible since I don't need to quarrel with relatives squabbling over items and sleeping places in their houses."

Millicent
received a $482 second payment.
"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I can now transport my farm products to the market using my own motorcycle. I don't need to incur losses anymore since I am able to transport my products to the market at a cheaper cost and in time. Before then, it was more expensive relying on other people to help me transport the products to market."
