In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
Honestly there is nothing Givedirectly does not do well. Givedirectly makes sire the right people receive these funds by enrolling people themselves. That is just wonderful.
What did you spend your most recent transfer(s) on?
I live at my husbands compound we have a house here but i also wanted a house in my village so this second transfer was used to build the house. My husband was willing that i build another house.
I also bought mattress and blankets for my children as the first transfer was not enough to buy for all of us.
