How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
The biggest difference in my life is that I have all I need to survive like food and farming materials unlike before being enrolled in the program
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
In my humble opinion, I feel everything went well since everyone who deserved the assistance got their share unlike if it would have been left in the hands of chiefs who are more corrupt.
What did you spend your most recent transfer(s) on?
I have kept most of the money fro the second transfer because i am planning on moulding and burning bricks for my upcoming project.
I plan to build a new house that will contain the whole family, both my children and visiting relatives because at the moment my children are putting up in a small room behind the house I sleep in where I feel it is not safe especially the girls that have come of age.
I have also bought 2 bags of fertilizer ready for next farming season, and 8 bags of maize to last me until I harvest.
