How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
My new goal is to build my own house. This goal would not have been set if it was not for Give Directly. The transfers have made it easier for me to rebuild a house of which i never thought it was possible. It would have been very difficult to build and own a house!
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
In my opinion, GiveDirectly, has done me well by giving us money. It is helping us greatly by giving us money
What did you spend your most recent transfer(s) on?
With the recent transfers and knowing that i have a house, i spent the recent transfers on food. It was very difficult to have and eat good food throughout. However, with the recent transfer of Mk60,000, i have bought food that is feeding us. I am grateful for these transfers !
