How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
So far the biggest difference is that i will soon own a house with ironsheet roof and I already have adequate food to take me through the year this is an achievement because most times i suffer with hunger.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
In my opinion everything that this organisation has done,has done it well with exceptional work results enrolling every household in this village is not a joke so there is nothing that really went wrong.
What did you spend your most recent transfer(s) on?
First of all i want to thank GiveDirectly for bringing in the programme in our village I'm very grateful for receiving both of my transfer's,all along i have been living in a kitchen like a house,so when i got the transfer i thought of why not use the money for something that i will forever cherish,which is building a house, so i used part of the money to buy house building materials such as Timba as well as ironsheet.
I also own a farm and mostly i lack farm inputs like fertiliser and advanced seeds since i don't make much money to buy these so i have bought fertiliser as well as maize to carry me through the year.
