How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
I am presently selling dry goods before my house. However, I hope to build my house and attach a shop for my business.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
After my husband died in 2013, I left from Plebo to come to my home town,youbor. Since I came, I have been living in a house with a thatch roof . I couldn't afford to buy zinc because there's no one to help. But It is through GD that I will be able to build a concrete house . Therefore, I want to be grateful to Givedirectly for changing my life.
What did you spend your most recent transfer(s) on?
My goal is to build a house therefore, I used my last transfer to buy three bundles of zinc.
