How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
Since marriage i used to sleep on a sack and had no blanket. On top of that food was a problem because i could not afford fertilizer for my garden which exacerbated meagre yields. The coming of GiveDirecyly with such assistance i things will change because i will buy matress, beddings and enough food
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
Givedirectly has shown that it is a trasparent organisation in the complete implementation of the cash transfer. During the period recipients were explained the source of the aid and how they would manage the funds. Recipients were given power to decide on themselves how to use the cash and all neccessary advices. There was nothing which went wrong
What did you spend your most recent transfer(s) on?
I have already collected the money but i decided to save it so that i build a good house with iron sheets in the near future
