What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my third transfer on a house and a cow. I used my transfer to finish plastering and cementing my house because it has been always dirty. I also bought a cow for milk.
How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
I now live in a clean and neat house, I sleep well with good bedding, I feed well and I have a cow for milk from the transfer, so my life is different than it would have been if I never received the transfer.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
