How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
My life is different in that am no longer sickly of ulcers because I have paid my children's school fees which used to bother me a lot.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
In my opinion Give Directly did well to sensitize me that the transfer was unconditional which allowed me to spend it on my priority need, they have never come to ask me for any bribe, However, Give Directly should avoid listening to rumors spread by community members especially accusing some people who are residents for being impostors which denied many people opportunity to benefit.
What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent my second transfer for paying schools fees and buying school requirements for my three children.
