How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
Now i have a nice decent house, comparing to the past before receiving money from Givedirectly, there are no any leakages on my roof and we can sleep peacefully even during the heavy rains.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
Givedirectly conducts its processes very well and there is no aspect of this program that i can complain about, i like the fact that we are given large amounts of money, this has enabled me to afford building a house.
What did you spend your most recent transfer(s) on?

What does receiving this money mean to you?
The money means a lot to me. I will now be able to construct a house, buy kitchen and some household items.
The money will also help me to buy food because our harvest is not enough for the year. I will also buy fertilizer in readiness for next growing season.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I am always happy when I have enough food.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The main problem here is lack of food. Our harvest is always not enough to carry us throughout the year.
