How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
right now my life has changed dramatically. i have food in my house these days which was something i had difficulties in doing in the past. I'm sleeping in a good house thanks to money from give directly and my children have clothes and other basic needs which i couldn't provide for them on my own all thanks to GD
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
in my opinion GD doesn't need to change anything because everything they promised us
What did you spend your most recent transfer(s) on?
i used the money to buy fertilizer for the coming rainy season. i have problems with my harvest last year so i decided to buy the fertilizer to boost my production. I have also used some of the momey to construct a house (still underway) so that i have a nice place to sleep in. I didn't have a good house so i have decided to surprise myself with this project. i also bought 5 bags of maize for this time
