How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
I am in school but had some fees to pay.
I actually didn't have the money to do the payment.
So when I received the money, i paid the balance fees and was still left with some money.
I invested the balance money into business to enable me to settle future problems.
Because I know that Give Directly will not always give us money. But from what they have given me, since I have invested into business, i will surely survived when they are gone.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
Give Directly is indeed an organization that i will never forget. Giving me that amount of money to empower myself in education and business unconditionally, it's unforgettable.
What did you spend your most recent transfer(s) on?
I used the money to pay my balance school fees and invested the balance into business for the future.
