How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
Firstly I want to give thanks to givedirectly for their support. Givedirectly has changed my entire life, because the life I was living before was nothing, and I haven't received money form anyone before for free with out paying back. But since I started receiving money from givedirectly for free I decided to build my owned house in my village. Now I am planning to start a new business in my village that is my new goal.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
In my opinion givedirectly did very well in my life and that of my village. Givedirectly was able to enrolled almost the entire village. Givedirectly has changed my life.
What did you spend your most recent transfer(s) on?

How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
My previous goal is still in progress which is my house project. I intend completing it before doing anything else.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
God has really blessed me to be a part of this great opportunity that Give Directly has brought to us, and I'm so much grateful for that. I have been living in discomfort for years which has been so worrisome for me due to lack of resources, but I'm hopeful today because of GD. For me I love every bit of what they do, they have shown us integrity and honesty and I highly commend them for such.
What did you spend your most recent transfer(s) on?
