How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
My life is different now because I never thought I would be able to have a house with proper roofing. And things used to be so difficult for me before the transfers and now with the transfers I no longer suffer to provide myself basic needs.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
In my opinion GiveDirectly has been working well I have not seen anything negative from the organization. They amount of money they give is enough to help change a persons life, so that they should continue giving in that amount of sum.
What did you spend your most recent transfer(s) on?
I spent the money on roofing, mattress and cement. Right now I am very happy to announce that the second transfers will be spent on building the house and paying for construction
