How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
I have new goals that i didn't have before the transfer for example when i got enrolled i thought of helping my younger sister with school fees,she is in a nursing college and i used more than half of the transfer for that.
I also thought of buying things for my existing business,i own a hair dressing saloon so i managed to buy a few extra things like hair extensions,hair dryer and hair foods.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
The things that went well are the mobile transfer's this eliminated fraud cases and we are all happy.
