How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
Yes,I had previous plans of selling,sending my children to school,and building my own house but was unable due to financial difficulties. My life had been upside down due to this condition. But since I received GiveDirectly money I have started working on these plans.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
GiveDirectly do well by taking tears from my eyes by enabling me to buy land for myself,send my three children to school and paid all of their schools fees remaining with zero balance and bought all of their school materials. I am also able to start a new business for myself now because of GiveDirectly kind gestures. I am grateful to GiveDirectly for ever.
