How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
I don't have any new plans about my transfer that I just received. I'm thinking about complete my house project with this transfer that I just received. I also bought my balance two more bundle of zinc. I also pay my children's tuition and bought them some schools material.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
In my opinion give directly had not done anything wrong in my village. Everything give directly told us they are doing it. They are very transparent in their job. I been living in an unconditional house with my family. With give directly intervention I'm able to get my own house, and my children are back to school.
What did you spend your most recent transfer(s) on?
A huge of my transfer will be spend on my house project. Because I have been working for people just to build a zinc, house for myself there is no way. Moreover, my children's are been out of school, for the past few years. I was able to get them back to school and even bought some provisions for the house. I bought my second bundle of zinc with some nails just for roofing. I'm awaiting my next transfer so that I can start a business to help me.
