How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
I just bought the balance zinc to complete my house. I even bought some nail for the zicing of my house. I also pay my children school feed and even bought them some schools material. I was only living on farming to survive.with the transfer I'm about to have a very descent house in this village. My children are been out of school because of my low income that I'm getting from the farming work.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
GiveDirectly is not doing any thing that i have seen so far now.they are very transparent in all of their job as an NGO in Liberia. They don't discriminate between people.
