How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
The biggest difference is owning a good house with ironsheet roof,since all along i have been living in a glass fatched house.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
From my opinion everything went on pretty well,every household eligible for the programme got enrolled and we received both transfer's per promise.
What did you spend your most recent transfer(s) on?
We received the second transfer and we are super grateful,we used part of the money to buy the remaining house building materials that we didn't afford to buy with the first transfer such as nails,Timba and frames,we also bought sleeping matress and 6 bags of maize.
This organisation has really helped us alot we couldn't afford to build a house but now we have.
