How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
Our life is different now with the coming in of GiveDirectly programme,we used to own 1 matress as a whole family it was so pathetic that when visitors came we would sleep on the floor and give the visitors the matress,but now we have managed to secure 2 matress and we are all happy.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
Truly speaking with this organisation almost everything has been done well nothing to say from my side.
What did you spend your most recent transfer(s) on?
I'm super excited for getting enrolled in the programme and i really appreciate everything especially receiving both of my transfer's,so with my second transfer i haven't used it at all yet this is so because we still in decision making on how we should spend the transfer,so we are not in a hurry to do anything at all.
