How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
Yes i have new goals that i didn't have before the transfer,as soon as i learnt about the programme and the transfer amount,I planned to build a house which is something i wouldn't have managed on my own because i have been trying to build a house in the past years 10 years.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
Everything went well with how the organisation hundled the programme i really have nothing to complain.

What does receiving this money mean to you?
This money will mean help to me, I already have bricks that I want to use to build a house,so this money will help me in buying iron sheet and everything to finish the house. I have not been able to build a good house because I earn less from fishing.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is evening when am back from the lake with food and money, I am happy knowing my family will have food to eat that evening.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The hardship that I have faced in my life is lack of money to build a good house as well as provide for the family. I have 3 children to look after and I also have children with my ex wife.
