How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
Yes, my new goal has to do with the purchasing of bike, at the start of the program I had the mind to build house, but being a business man who moves around frequently, I diverted my last transfer and that of the others that I had in keeping to the purchasing of motorbike.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
Givedirectly does well in changing people's livelihood, some us never own bike before, now I'm an owner of a bike, which helps me a lot in my hustle, and there is nothing that Givedirectly does do well, in my opinion.
What did you spend your most recent transfer(s) on?

How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
When the program started, my first goal was to improve my farm so that I can have a better harvest this year and this goal has been achieved with the help of GiveDirectly transfers. My new goal is to buy a motorcycle that will help me to distribute more of my farm produce to the market during market days; by that, I will be able to sell more goods and generate more profit.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
In my opinion, GiveDirectly does well by helping us unconditionally without any strain being attached to it, they are also truthful in giving information about the program because everything they said from the beginning of the program has all come to pass which is so amazing to me. I don't think GiveDirectly should change anything in their program because everything is okay with me.
What did you spend your most recent transfer(s) on?
I am saving my recent transfer so that I can add it to the remaining transfer to buy a motorcycle for my business. I will also use a little amount to buy foodstuff for my family.
