How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
For a long time i have been living in grass thatched house which was not reliable especially during the rainy season. Food and other basic needs were far from reach such that life was really pathetic. Now with GiveDirectly my life has greatly changed because i am now able to access my needs and soon i will build a permanent house
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
Looking at the project right from inception to date i find all perfect and worth appreciating. During all this time there has been good information sharing between project team and beneficiaries and all problems were addressed in time. Therefore to me Givedirectly did well in all its process of implementation and nothing went wrong
What did you spend your most recent transfer(s) on?
Most often it is very difficult to spend money on intended purposes shortly after earning it because at that time you do not already have a well prepared budget as such you end up being extravagant. Therefore to avoid such scenario i have decided to save my money up until i make a budget
