In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?

Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
The moment I recieved my money, I felt happy because I had now got some financial help that I was praying for, for so long.
What did you spend your first transfer on?
I plan to spend my first transfer to buy two bulls. This is because these will help me in ploughing and save my self from begging and cultivating late.
I also plan to spend my transfer in molding some bricks that I will use to build my permanet house using the second transfer. This is because the one I use now is grass thatched and leaks when it rains.
