How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
I see a tremendous difference and improvement in my life now in the sense that I now have food, through out unlike before receiving my transfer when I had to buy on daily basis. I have also bought iron sheets for building my house and bought fertilizer for bext farming season which was impossible despite these things being crucial for my survival
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
In my opinion, I don't think there is anything wrong with the way GiveDirectly handles it's operatios because they have given me the freedom of making my own choices with my transfer and I am very grateful.
What did you spend your most recent transfer(s) on?
I have managed to buy 10 bags of maize, 2 fertilizer bags and a bed and a blanket for my children.
The rest of the money I have kept it safe because am waiting for the rainyseason to pass before I start moulding bricks because I would like to build another house behind the one living in and rent it out, use the money I get from this and pay for my children school fees.
