In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
Give Directly is transparent in everything they do.
GD should consider giving some little money to her recipients for continued upkeep.

What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship I have faced in my life is being unemployed because of the limited education I acquired and I have limited access to adequate capital. Being unemployed lowers my standards of living.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is when I can provide and share all the day's meals with my family members. Moments when I eat together with my family are the happiest moments of my day.
What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means achieving my long term goals which I have, for long, struggled to get but in vain for example starting a livestock farm and doing farming on large scale. I have always worked for it but receiving this money will make it a reality.
