How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
My life has greatly improved in that, I own livestock that I hope to be a source of my livelihood in the near future when they multiply. Before, I found it very hard to accumulate money to buy whatever I bought with this transfers.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
GiveDirectly has done well by enabling me to own livestock and so many other things that I couldn't on my own. On the other hand, nothing bad has been done by GiveDirectly.
What did you spend your second transfer on?
I bought food, livestock i.e a cow, three goats and household items with my second transfer.
