How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
Yes, my new plan was to run after my health, I had been sick for about one year now, but at the start of the program, the first, second to the third transfers, it never clicked to my mind of spending on health, but at certain point in time I started to feel those sick symptoms which drew my attention to spending in that area.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
Over the time what I haven't handled Givedirectly had made me to handle it, and through them I was able to attend to my health and other needful things. Givedirectly is so good at changing people's lives, everything they do is okay.
