What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my third transfer on accomplishing my house which I started using the GD transfers. I also completed the payment of my motorcycle which brings in daily income for my home.
How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
My life is different than it would have been if I never received transfers in that I now get daily income from my motorcycle (boda boda) and my living standards have greatly improved.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
In my opinion, Give Directly does well in visiting all members of the village so that all people have equal chances of getting the transfers. What GD does not do well is failing to consider leaders when giving transfers.
