I spent my second transfer to buy goats and a cow and household items like plates,cups,beddings,and part of this money I used to treat my broken arm.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
Givedirectly has done well to give cash to the poor and an amount of money that I could have not handled in my entire life,there is nothing that givedirectly has not done well.
How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
My life has changed because I own my assets and I am stress free and full of happines,before I got this transfer, I did not own any asset, like goats and a cow and most of the time I was stressed and unhappy.
My health has been restored,I got an accident and broke my arm and this money helped me to get treatment that i wouldn't have managed without this transfer.
