What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my third transfer on buying a cow for milk and food for my family since there has been alot of drought that all the crops dried up.
How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
My life is different than it would have been if I never received the transfer because through this money i have managed to buy myself a plot of land and take care of my family's needs without much struggle. This would have been hard of I never got the transfer.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
In my opinion Give Directly does well to openly register ans involve all people interested in their way of doing things. This gave an equal opportunity for everyone to be part of and gain from the project. On the other hand I don't see anything that Give Directly doesn't do well.
