How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
I believe that I would not be here bragging of buying a plot had I not joined this program
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
Everything is going well with GiveDirectly especially the attention to detail during registration, we have been able to receive money because they are strict else all those with leadership position would've written their members of family
What did you spend your most recent transfer(s) on?
I have bought a plot of land, I save both my transfers and added a little more to purchase a big plot on land which I intend to build a house and start some small sclae farming

What does receiving this money mean to you?
I was first hearing about this program from neighbouring villages and how much people had benefited from the program. When the program came in my village, I made plans to build a much better house as I the one I currently live in is small and grass thatched and would now want to put up an iron sheet roofed house.
What is the happiest part of your day?
Any part of the day as long as I can afford to have atleast 2 meals with my kids
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
My house badly leaks during heavy rains as a result I find it very difficult to live in it during such times
