How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
I am happy now days because I have money and I hope to meet some of the items I have been lacking in life
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
In my opinion, receiving a cash transfer was a good experience. I had a number of issues in my home that required money but there was no where I could get it.
What did you spend your second transfer on?
I still have my money in the house but it is all to be spent on constructing my house because I am staying under the same roof with my co-wife. I have plans of buying cement, sand, hard cores , bricks and it is on this same money that I will use to pay for the Labour of the builders.
