How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
My life is grate now because I have been able to pay school fees for my self and siblings in boarding schools. Prior to receiving this transfer, we had no one to take care of us. My step mother mistreated us and we found it had to forget our late mother. Thank you GiveDirectly for this support.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
GiveDirectly did well to register me as a child headed housedhold after the death of my mother. They did well not to ask for any bribes from me. There is nothing they have done wrong.
What did you spend your second transfer on?
