How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
I'm into cocoa production in my village now .I have two acres of land filled with cocoa. I'm hoping to become one of the biggest motivational farmers among my peers for others to follow the same path with this achievement It will reduce the burden on my family.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
This is a life-changing organisation with no discrimination in their work.I would like them to give their help to other parts of the country to reduce some hard ship in people's lives.
What did you spend your most recent transfer(s) on?
I paid my children's fees and purchased some building materials for the completion of the house we have been building since our first transfer date.We have been facing a lot of challenges in getting money to build a decent house for my family.The crops we produce every year haven't produced sufficient cash to improve our lives, but with the help of Givedirectly funding I'm now a home owner.
