I spent my first transfer to buy a motorbike that has facilitated our movements.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
The moment I received my transfer, I became very happy because I had got money to buy a motorbike.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
Before receiving this transfer, I couldn't raise the needed money for a motorbike much as I had desired it to facilitate our movement. However, after getting money from GiveDirectly, I bought a motorbike that has facilitated movement. We can now take our children to distant hospitals with ease.
