How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
Before I started receiving transfers from GiveDirectly, it had been my dream to built a decent and bigger house for my family and I. With this dream since I started receiving my transfer, I been saving it and patiently waiting for the next transfer so I can be able to buy all the building materials at once in order to for the work to on smoothly.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
In my opinion GiveDirectly has been doing well from the beginning of this program until now. Each and every day they sacrifice a lot just to reach us the beneficiaries. We are greatly touched by their kind gestures towards the needy. They will forever be remembered by us. Kindly speaking I have not seen anything that is not well done by GiveDirectly.
What did you spend your most recent transfer(s) on?
With my dream of building a new house and decent house for my family to change the present living place condition to a better one, I have planned to wait for all my transfers so I can be able to buy all my building materials at once in order to avoid delay in the work. Thanks to GiveDirectly for affording me the opportunity to be one of the beneficiaries of this unique opportunity.
