What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my third transfer on constructing a house for my family. I was initially renting a house but paying monthly rent was hard since i had no stable job.
How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
My life is different in a way that i now own a plot of land on which I constructed a house for my family thanks to the transfers I received which would not be the case if I hadn't received because i was renting and didn't have hope of ever owning my land.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
In my opinion GD does well by helping us the poor by giving us unconditional transfers.

What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent my second transfer on buying a plot of land (40ft x 150ft) so that I can get rid of renting. It is so stressing when your landlord has to come to you every month for his rent.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is my improved status in the community. Now I can confidently stand with my colleagues who own land and property and I am now considered responsible.
