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 been able to pay my daughter's tuition, build a small house and also take care of my family.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
In my opinion Give directly does well to give money without paying it back because it would have been hard to get all this money back. It's also goo that they allow everyone interested in the money to register. Makes it a fair way of doing things.
