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.
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.
What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent my second transfer for constructing an iron roofed house for my self.
