How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
If i had never received the transfer i don't think i would be here bragging about my new house for obvious reasons which is money,I'm super proud that i own one and i have managed to secure adequate food which is something i wouldn't have managed if i was never enrolled.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
In my opinion this organisation has done well on the ground in all angles,look at us we are able to build a house because of the transfers,in general we have alleviated poverty in a way,and i don't have anything to argue about.
What did you spend your most recent transfer(s) on?
Since I'm a farmer i used part of my second transfer to buy 2 bags of fertiliser and that costed K60,000 , i bought 5 bags of maize at K8,000 each and it costed me almost K45,000 in total,and the remaining money I'm using it to pay for labour expenses since I'm building a house.
