In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
Give directly helped me alot with the cash transfers which have helped me personally. On the otherhand there is nothing that I can say bad about give directly. So far it has only done good for the people.
How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
My life is different now because I am now studying, this is something that was impossible in the past because I had no hopes of getting school fees. But give directly helped me alot and I am now happy because I am free man without debts.
