Stellah received a $433 second payment.

"GiveDirectly excels at shaping the next generation. To be honest, GiveDirectly is responsible for a whole generation of children in my village who have now gone to school. Prior to GiveDirectly, the parents had no funds. Businesses, such as mine, have expanded, purchases have been made, and so on. GiveDirectly has been a blessing, and I pray they continue to do so for countless others."
