How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
My life is different in that I have peace of mind, am feeling good and healthy with my whole family.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
In my opinion, Give Directly does well to approach us with good customer and have sensitised families to be united and leave in peace. They also don' t take bribes from us. Give Directly staff do bad by refusing what we offer them to eat. Traditionally its bad for a visitor to refuse food and we feel bad about it.

I spent my second tranfer for buying 15 bags of cement at 405,000ugx, food at 68,000ugx. I have saved 1,160,000ugx.
