What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my third transfer on buying iron sheets and bricks to complete my three bedroom house so that I can move out the grass thutched house I have been sleeping in.
How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
My life is different than it would have been if I never received the transfer in that my life has improved alot from a grass thutched house to an iron roofed house and from sleeping hungry due to lack of food to having a meal. So I thank Give Directly for its support.

In my opinion Give directly does to train well disciplined and respectful employees who are focused on delivering the best services to us.
