How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
My life has changed since i got the transfer from Givedirectly, because my house has been in bad shaped and it had been difficult for us to sleep whenever it rains, so with the coming of support from Givedirectly i was able to improve my house and now i am sleeping peacefully with some family.

To my opinion i believe Givedirectly has been doing a great job in all of its process and i can't complain about anything concerning this program.
