How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
At the moment I do not have any new plans or goals. the goals that i had right before receiving the money from Givedirectly are still the same at the moment.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
To my opinion Givedirectly does a very good job, and personally I don't see any aspect of this program that i would think needs to be improved.
What did you spend your most recent transfer(s) on?
I i have used the most of my transfer from Givedirectly to buy building materials such as cement, bricks, nails, door and window frames and also I have bought bags of maize for my family because I did not harvest enough food to take us through up to the next harvesting season.
