How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
My goals have not changed from the ones i had prior to the arrival of these GD transfers. Shelter was something i have always wanted to have. A good house with iron sheets and i used my money to build the house
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
There is nothing that i feel Givedirectly does not do well. They make sure the right people are enrolled in the programme be it people renting houses in the village or the natives as long as they fit their enrolment criteria. This is the most wonderful thing about Givedirectly
What did you spend your most recent transfer(s) on?
This transfer was used to finish up my house. I had built it using my first transfer so i needed to hire a carpenter to roof it and also put cement on the floor. I also bought food and fertilizer to use in my farm for the next farming season
