In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
What Give Directly does well is the issue of giving us cash so that we plan by our selves how best to utilise it.
How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
My life is far different than it was before Give Directly because I now have a daily income which I am earning from my motor cycle that I bought using the transfer I got from them. I am able now days to meet most of home basic needs which was not the case before GD.
