How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
My new plan is to send my second son to school because my first money couldn't reach his fees based on the fact that I had many other pressing issues. Another new goal I have is to make rice farm from this second payment.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
What Givedirectly is doing well is that, I did not have the hand to meet my needs, but they have given me money to do so. I don't about a bad side about them.
What did you spend your most recent transfer(s) on?
I want to buy food for my workers and also pay them for the work they will do on my farm. I will also use part of my money to pay my son's school fees and then buy food for my home.
