What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my third transfer on buying iron sheets and completing the construction of our house since the one we are living in is almost falling and with a leaky roof.
How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
I would be living in a poor condition because i couldn't not even afford a bed to sleep comfortably however my life is different in a way that i now sleep comfortably because of the beddings and other needs I bought with my transfers.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
In my opinion GD does well by delivering as promised because we had doubts about the program at the start however all these doubts were erased when you fulfilled.
