How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
The house i used to live in was grass thatched. During the rainy season it gave us alot of problems. Whenever rains come we would go and keep some of my stuff at my mothers place. So i had always wanted to have a house with iron sheets and i did just that when i got my funds. Improved my house by having a better roof
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
There is nothing wrong with what or how GiveDirectly works or how it enrolls people
What did you spend your most recent transfer(s) on?

What does receiving this money mean to you?
I am very happy to be enrolled in this program. It just shows that some people still care about the welfare of others. This money will help me to solve some of the problems that I face.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I am happiest when I have sold my farm produce such as groundnuts. I become unhappy when I have to look for peace jobs after I have finished selling my produce.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I face is lack of food. Another challenge that I face is that I do not have a good sleeping place.
