How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
Before receiving transfer from GiveDirectly, I had the dream of buying a parcel of land in the city and that had been my biggest goal all along. For this reason, I have not developed any new goal until I see my dream accomplished. On that note, since I started receiving transfers from GiveDirectly, I immediately started pay towards the parcel of land. Moreover, with my recent transfer I was finally able to complete the payment for the land, using a portion of the money. Additionally, I used the balance money and bought ten bags of cement with some pieces of steel rod to start the foundation. I am so much excited and grateful that my dream of owning a property in the city had come to pass through the great financial assistance from GiveDirectly.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
In my opinion, GiveDirectly has done more than good for me. The method used by this integrity Organization in selecting qualified household as beneficiaries of this unique program is so much commendable. Every sacrifices and efforts applied to reach us the beneficiaries will never go unnoticed. I am number one person that will forever be grateful to GiveDirectly for bringing my dream to reality. Therefore, in my honest opinion, I have not seen anything wrong done by GiveDirectly.
What did you spend your most recent transfer(s) on?
After I started receiving transfers from GiveDirectly, with my goal of acquiring a property in the city, I immediately started paying towards a parcel of land using money from my three transfers. However, with my recent transfer I used a portion of the money to complete the payment for the land. Furthermore, the balance money was spend on buying ten bags of cement and steel rod to start the foundation of the house. Today I am a proud and happy land owner in the city. All thanks to GiveDirectly for this great financial support.

How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
No! I didn't have any new goals. I'm a nurse. Things have not been so okay. Sometimes I don't get my salary on time. Paying my rent worries me. I have been wanting to build a house but unable. I am happy for this opportunity. My life will never be the same again. My primary goal has been to build a new house. I will stick to that goal.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
GiveDirectly is doing extremely well for us. It is giving us money that we didn't work for. GiveDirectly is giving us money and not asking for anything in return. This amazing. In my opinion, it is not doing anything unwell. That they don't accept gifts of goodwill from us is what bothers us. Giving them gifts is our way of appreciating them but they refuse our gifts.
What did you spend your most recent transfer(s) on?
I am a nurse. Sometimes I don't get paid on time. My siblings depend on me for their upkeep. Things haven't been so well. My sister have been sick and I didn't have any money to send for her treatment. That have been worrisome. I was so excited when I received my transfer. I sent some of my money to take care of my sister treatment. I haven't withdrawn the rest. When I do, I want to buy zinc and some building materials to build a new house. I am thankful for this amazing opportunity. Our lives will never be the same again. We will now have a better life.
