"The biggest difference I can mention in my life since I started receiving transfers from Give Directly is the fact that I have acquired my own home where I enjoy full authority and autonomy to develop-I don't consult anyone when to start cultivating my farms and when to reap or harvest from my farms; I am no longer held with such customs."
