In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
My opinion is that Givedirectly does its processes very well and there is no any aspect of this program that i think it needs to improve.

I have bought 2 goats, beddings(blankets) and 4 bags of maize and i saved the rest of the money to build the house.

What does receiving this money mean to you?
This money will help my household in so many different ways. We dont have enough beddings for us and kids. We also dont have enough clothes for school going kids. This money will help solving all those problems. I am also planning to buy food and matress.
What is the happiest part of your day?
We are always happy at this family mainly because i have peace with my husband and my kids are well behaved. So for the past 6 months that hasnt changed.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
Currently we are not facing any big problems. My husband does bicycle taxi business and that helps alot. We eat regulary.
