How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
My life has changed in a number ways with the transfers from GD. My children had a problem of not going to school frequently because of lack of uniform and even mere clothes to put on when going to school. this problem was sorted out with the money from GD. My family had a poor house with no iron sheet but with GD, we have been able to fix the house. As I am speaking, the house with iron sheets is almost completed and we are thankful.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?

What did you spend your most recent transfer(s) on?
After receiving the second transfers, I bought 29 Iron sheets, window and door frames, wires and nails for the house I am renovating with the first money.
