What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my third transfer on a house, clothes and a music system. I used my transfer to plaster my mother's house because it was dusty and unclean. I also bought clothes and a music system for home entertainment.
How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
My mother's house where I stay is well organised with good furniture and a music system for entertainment. I am happy.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
Sending us money directly on our phones and visiting us in villages about the transfer is good.
