How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
My life is different now because i will own a house,ever since GiveDirectly came into this village i have managed to buy livestock,fertiliser and adequate food.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
To be honest i really appreciate GiveDirectly for enrolling every household in this village,to me you have done an exceptional job and sticking to your promise of two transfer's was very brilliant i literally have nothing to complain or worry about.
What did you spend your most recent transfer(s) on?
I would love to use my second transfer to build a house because i don't have a proper shelter,secondly i would love to buy food a few bags of maize to be precise,and i know the rest of the money will go into house building materials.
