How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
I used to live in a very poor house and i had no dream that some day i would have one, but now i have a beautiful house with iron sheets because of GiveDirectly transfer. In addition to that my family was facing food shortage following little harvest we got in the last agricultural season but now i have bought enough food and my family is living happily
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
Givedirectly did every thing in a perfect way. This cash transfer programme has surpassed all others before, because this time we are getting a good amount which is enough to change our problems. There was nothing wrong
What did you spend your most recent transfer(s) on?
I spent my transfer on building a new house, bought 5 bags of maize at MK7500 each and school uniforms for my children at MK6000
