Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
I was very happy when I received the cash transfer because, my husband and I had in mind to build a house with zinc roof but we never had the finance until Give Directly came to assist us. Thanks to Give Directly.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life since you started receiving payments from GiveDirectly.
The biggest difference that has occurred in our lives since we received the cash transfer is to live in a house that will be roofed with zinc instead of tash. The tash roofed house had us worried especially when it starts to rain. Thanks to Give Directly for everything.
What did you spend your most recent transfer(s) on?
