What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my third transfer on constructing a house and paying school fees for my children. The house we were staying in was small so it couldn't accommodate the whole family properly.
How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
I wouldn't have land for farming and couldn't manage to send my children to school since i was failing to pay school fees for them however my life is different in a way that i cleared all school dues for my children and i have land for farming which i bought with the transfers.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
In my opinion GD does well specifically by not asking for bribe especially during registration.
