How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
My life is different in that, I have owned a cow and my daughter who was to miss her senior six final exams because of lack of school fees has done it since this money enabled me to pay her school fees in time, something I couldn't do before receiving this transfer.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
In my opinion, Give Directly has done well to give me money that has enabled me buy construction materials, a cow and pay school fees for my child who was going to miss her senior 6 final exams since I couldn't rise third term's school fees, and Give Directly has not done anything bad.
What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent my second transfer for purchasing a cow at UGX 700,000 and I have not spent UGX 932,000 but I'm planning to top it for buying a second hand car for transportation business, since my husband is a drive my profession.
