How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
I was excited about the money, I knew I will be able to afford things I did not before GD.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
GD does well on giving out money to people instead of materials. This money helps us decide whatever we want to do to help out our families.
What did you spend your most recent transfer(s) on?
I started business of selling smoked fish with the second transfer.
