What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent my second transfer to pay tuition for my 2 children (girl and boy) who are doing nursing and agriculture courses respectively.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
In my opinion, Give Directly did well to give us money directly to the to intended beneficiaries. This money has been starting capital to many people. GD did not do well not to register some people especially students below 18 years who are very needy. This money would have enanled many to complete school. it did not do well to send money in two instalments, it would have been better to give money once so that its put into a bigger investment.
How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
My life is different than it would have been if i never received the money in that it has relieved me the burden of tuition and am grateful.
