What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent all my second cash transfer to clear the remaining balance of cash on a plot of land that I had partly paid with the first cash transfer.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
GiveDirectly does well to help the needy and destitute through giving them cash transfers. Personally I did not possess a plot of land of my own. There is nothing wrong that GiveDirectly does not do well so far.
How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
The GiveDirectly cash transfers have transformed my life alot in that I can now afford to dress nicely and decently. I acquired a plot of land that I intend to construct on.
In the past, I did not have a plot of land of my own. I am grateful to GiveDirectly for the cash transfers.
