In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
In my opinion Give Directly did well to give us money, the staff have good customer care and talk to us with respect. Its the first of its kind in our village. There is nothing that the organisation did not do well.
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 did not get this money because am no longer sickly, i managed to get better treatment and am now healthy.

The biggest hardship i face is am constantly being attacked by ulcers and typhoid yet I do not have money for treatment. This is stressing me alot with little hope of life.

The happiest part of the day is afternoon hours. This when i take some "ajono" while chatting with friends at otete's bar in the near by trading centre.
What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means i will be able to treat myself. Am having typhoid and ulcers that are weakening me every day, even i can not do work for long and this is causing poverty in my family.
