How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
I don't have any new goals at the moment. The goal was to have somewhere comfortable like a roofed house, with glasses on the windows plus enough food and I have done that and am contented
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
In my opinion, everything is going on really well. We are told what to expect and everything goes on accordingly.
What did you spend your most recent transfer(s) on?
I bought clothes for both my children and school uniforms, I also bought cement but I have saved most of my second transfer because I had a funeral, my son died in South Africa so I used part of it to assist in the arrangements for repatriation of the remains.
