What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent my second transfer for constructing an iron roofed house for my self.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
GiveDirectly did well to send us unconditional cash transfers at a right time. Hunger had hit us but this money saved us.There is nothing they are doing bad.
How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
My life has changed alot because I now have a good bed, clothes and I have constructed an iron roofed house. I used to sleep on a very old mattress that was even torn. My sister used to give me her clothes because I never had my own.
