How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
My life has registered progress in that, I built a permanent structure for my poultry project. In the past, I never had money to build one and the turkeys were on free range. This exposed them to the wild animals like dogs and snakes that devoured them as some also got lost. All these led to huge losses and hindered the growth of my project.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
In my opinion, GiveDirectly has done well in giving me the money I used for constructing my project house. According to me, GiveDirectly has not done anything bad.
