How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
I have hopes of becoming a land lord again after buying my land. I have been lacking where I can settle with the family. I have been suffering a lot after selling off all the land that we had in an attempt to save the life of my husband who eventually died and left us with no land.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
In my opinion, I am pleased with the support that I received from Give Directly which was in a money transfer form. I manged to plan for it well according to my desires. I am only not pleased with the the way they have kept on sending the transfer without notifying us. This has made some people loose their money by being stolen by some close relatives.
What did you spend your second transfer on?
Actually I have not not yet spent my money but I plan to buy a plot of land out of all my money that I received the 1632000.
