What did you spend your second transfer on?
I used my second transfer on getting treatment. The time the money came in, I was already in hospital diagonised with a skin infection.
I also bought a bull 650,000 ugx as my personal asset. This will help me to continue with my treatment in the near future when the money is all used up.
I gave part of my transfer to my children and grand children since they had asked for it from me as fees.
I am using the balance for feeding myself.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
In my opinion Give Directly has done well by giving me money that I used to treat my self or else, I would have died.
Nothing! Nothing! In my opinion however, givedirectly has done nothing wrong.
How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
If I had never recieved the transfer, i would have died by now. I was in critical state by the time I was taken to hospital. But now that I recieved the transfer, I am healthy.
