How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
My life is changed in that, I commenced the construction of my permanent house. Previously, I had wished to build one but never had the financial backing. In addition, the GD transfers enabled me to meet my family needs that were lacking most especially utensils and beddings.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
In my opinion, GiveDirectly has done well by improving the welfare of my family through giving unconditional cash transfers that I used to meet the basic needs. On the other hand, I have no problem with GiveDirectly since they did the right things.
What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent my second transfer on building materials that were used to construct a permanent house.
