What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spen my third transfer on paying school fees for my primary school children and the balance I use to dig a pit latrine because we were using the Bush to ease ourselves.
How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
My life is different than it would have been if i never received the transfer because I have been able to dig and build a pit latrine which was one of the big problems we had as a family. Going to the Bush had started making us sick but we didn't even realize it.So thank you give directly.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
In my opinion Give Directly does well in being open to its recipient teaching them everything they need to know before they are given the money. This gives the recipient a choice to either accept the program or refuse it like what some people did
