How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
My life has really changed because I'm going to buy a plot of land which i have never had before. I'm also going to build a house, I have been a laughing stock but GD has averted that.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
GD does really so good to me, I'm really so happy. I have not found anything negative about the organization.
What did you spend your second transfer on?
I have not yet spent my transfers bu I'm planning to spend it on buying a plot of land at 1,800,000Ugsh, 4000 bricks at 400,000Ugsh, buy 15 pieces of iron sheets for roofing, cement, timber and doors/windows.
