How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
My previous goal is still in progress which is my house project. I'm at the finishing touches stage right now so I'm glue to that process before thinking about something else.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
Give Directly has made so many dead dreams to come alive, and I'm glad to be a part of this unique opportunity. My life is what it is today because God stepped in through this noble institution. They are a blessing to lives and an icon of change. I'm glad to stand as a family head with so much to show all because of GD, they have indeed done well!!!
