How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
My life has improved so much with the gift that i have received we have built a nice house which has helped as alot to sleep in Peace. My children are having breakfast everyday when going to school. The plot that we are currently staying on doesn't belong to us, the Government relocated us here because they wanted to build a Hospital on our land, so the money that we have received from Givedirectly has helped us to buy a plot and a new decent house on it, this could not have happened without financial assistance from Givedirectly.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
I have no complaint in the manner Givedirectly conducts its activities, i especially love the fact that we have been given a huge amount of money which I have never received before in my whole life.
What did you spend your most recent transfer(s) on?
Bricks, cement, bags of maize, iron sheets.
