How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
The gift from Givedirectly has improved our livelihood so much, instead of going around and spending much time looking for piece works to find money to pay school fees for my children i am using that time to prepare my farm, so thank you much for the transfer that Givedirectly has sent to us.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
I am very grateful and i believe all of the activities that Givedirectly is involved they are very effective and helpful to us.
What did you spend your most recent transfer(s) on?
I have spent the most of my transfer from Givedirectly to improve my house because it has been in a bad shape for a long time and there was a possibility that it could have collapsed any time.

What does receiving this money mean to you?
This money means a lot to me. I will use it to buy iron sheets to renovate my house. My house is thatched with grass, I change the roof annually which is tiresome. I will also buy maize because the maize we harvested won't last us till the next harvesting season. On top of that, I will buy a matress and a bed.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I am happiest whenever I find enough food for me and my family.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship I face is not having enough food and household items.
