How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
My goal has been to build a decent and reputable house for me and my family. Due to the lack of money I have not been able to achieve that goal. As seeing, the current house I am living in with my family has limited rooms to accommodate us. I have therefore decided along with my partner for us to build two bedrooms house with this last transfer for both of us while the rest of the family can remain in the four bedrooms house we constructed with the first, second, and third transfer. I am wholeheartedly greatful to GiveDirectly for this wonderful opportunity.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
I think GiveDirectly is doing well when it comes to bettering the lives of we the poor people. I have never seen this kind of program since I was born for an organization to give you money to better your life without any condition been given you as beneficiary. GiveDirectly is indeed a God sent organization for the poor. The organization has made people to build better houses, children who were not in school are now in school. Nothing absolutely wrong have I seen about GiveDirectly.
What did you spend your most recent transfer(s) on?
As started from the beginning, I along with my partner have decided to build two bedrooms. When I got this last transfer from the phone, I was able to buy two and a half bundles of zinc. I was also able to buy a cartoon of wire nails and two packs of zinc nails. In addition I was able pay transportation for the materials and myself back home.
