What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my third transfer on buying bricks and iron sheets for completing my house. I had started on the construction earlier with my second transfer though I hadn't completed it due to insufficient funds.
How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
I would still be living in my old leaking house just admiring others with descent houses if I had not received transfers however I was able to construct my own iron roofed house with the transfers.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
GD does well by providing us with financial assistance and letting us decide how to use it.
