How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
Yes my newest goal is to buy more goods for my existing business which I just did with the new transfer received from GD. As I buy more goods for my business it will also lead to investing into housing in the city.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
To improve GD, GD needs to provide cash out center for smooth cash out activity.
What did you spend your most recent transfer(s) on?
Upon receiving my last payment, I purchased a drum of gasoline, rice, and other goods. These are most demandable goods of my community.

What does receiving this money mean to you?
Over the past years, I have been struggling with my petit business improvements because the little I earned does not cover my children school fees in the city, so after getting the GiveDirectly money, I will be able to increase the scale of my business and get more profit and take of my children's fees with a portion timely.
What is the happiest part of your day?
In view of my past and low educational level, seeing my children completing the academic year successfully and being promoted to the next class has brought me great joy.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
For so many years, I have been challenged with getting my children school fees on time, which caused them to be put out at times due to my very low income from business and this issue still serves as a problem for me daily. Getting GiveDirectly money will help me solve this problem.
