How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
My life is different in that my mind is relaxed because as a family we aquired our own land. Before we got money we were hiring farm land which was not easy at all.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
In my opinion, Give Directly did well to give money to all residents of my village. The orgqnisation is trust worthy, they kept their word, they promised us money during enrollment and it was fulfilled. There is nothing they aren't doing well.
