What did you spend your second transfer on?
I am spending my second transfer on constructing a four roomed mabati house.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
Give directly did well by sending money that has enabled me buy cows and build my own house. On my side I do not see anything wrong with give directly.
How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
My life is so different in that I am now happy and proud that I have a house of my own courtesy of give directly. In the past before Give directly came to my aid, life was really miserable. I had no hope for a better future.
