What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my third transfer on renting land for agriculture. I have many children I take care of and I can't afford to buy food daily so I did this to enable me feed them.
How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
Our lives would be in a bad condition because i wouldn't be able to provide my family with what to eat since buying food on a daily is costly these days however I managed to secure land for agriculture with the transfers i received so I will grow food that will feed my family on this land.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
In my opinion GD does well by handling us in a special way (with care and love) and by helping to guide and direct us where and when necessary.
