How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
My life is different in that, I have owned better house hold items that I didn't have before and above all our family produce business has greatly been boosted with this transfer because we were able to all the required stock.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
In my opinion, I Give Directly has done well to give my family cash that acted as capital for us to restock our produce business that had gone down, and Give Directly has not done anything bad to me.
What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent my second transfer for restocking our family business of produce which had gone down because we had lacked capital, I also bought house hold items, a bag of cement and a goat.
