How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
My household would have suffered because we no longer had any means to source income due to my spouse loosing job. With the transfers I am now able to make a budget for a month and we will have all the necessities for this month. I am grateful towards GiveDirectly, I lost hope but it has given me and my household a happy life.
