How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
the new goal that i didn't have before receiving the transfer was to build a house.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
GiveDirectly does so well by giving the cash directly to us, and also letting us decide on what to do with the transfer
What did you spend your most recent transfer(s) on?
I spent my transfer on building a house, with the remaining money that i had, i used it to buy a bicycle so that i can use it for transportation, and i also bought a good phone and some fertilizer.

What does receiving this money mean to you?
I intend to use the money for building a nice house with a cement floor and iron sheet roofed!!. I also intend to buy fertilizers for the next growing season so that I harvest enough yields for the next growing season so that I do not harvest to starve
What is the happiest part of your day?
I am happiest whenever a nice song comes along on a radio station and I dance to it
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
I lack money for fertilizers which affects my maize yields resulting in my household being hit by constant hunger. And again my house badly leaks which makes living i it very uncomfortable
