How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
My poverty level has been reduced. I used to sleep on an empty stomach before the transfer but now I have enough food. I have also managed to build a bigger house because of the transfer which I couldn't manage on my own.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
GD is doing very well in developing rural villages. The funds are helping hard to reach areas and the amount of money is enough to help in doing many things.
What did you spend your most recent transfer(s) on?
I am so grateful for the transfer. I have been having challenges when it comes to cooking and I bought 4 pots and some other kitchen utensils.
I was also building a house and I bought timber and Iron sheets. My house is looking very great. I have also saved part of the money to support my day to day life.
