In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
Give Directly has supported us in giving cash transfers which we have used for recovering land for cultivation and built good houses thar we live in. To the best of my knowledge, I don't see anything Give Directly has not done well.
How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
My life is different in that, ' I have recovered my three acres of land that was mortgaged and to my surprise, they wanted to own because I had no hope of paying back the mortgage amount. Am going to start using my land to cultivate crops to support my family.
