How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
Every time i hear GD i hear hope sounding into my ears. Its like life moved from a gamble to a sure deal. Thanks to GD. We have hope now. We are to begin the construction very soon.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
They have given us money. They call us to find out if we recieved the money. Such a wonderful organisation. Imagine we dont even struggle to have it. There is absolutely nothing bad with GD.
What did you spend your second transfer on?
We have not yet used our last transfer. We are planning to construct a house. The bricks are underway.
