How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
Our everyday living has improved so much since receiving money from Givedirectly, we have enough fertilizer for all of our farms, otherwise if we had not received this money we could have been busy looking piece works so that we find money to buy fertilizer. The bags of fertilizer will also hopefully help us to harvest enough food in the coming harvesting season.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
To my opinion Givedirectly is good organization and all of its processes are very good, there is no any part of it i can complain about. I actually like that we are given a huge amount of money which has enabled me to purchase some of the things that I couldn't have been able to purchase.
What did you spend your most recent transfer(s) on?
The money that I received from Givedirectly I have used it to buy fertilizer and i have employed some people to prepare my farm because I have been sick and i do not have the physical strength to prepare the farm my self.
