How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
RE: Yes i do have a new goal. I have been sleeping in a very old and leaking house for a very long period of time now, my dream have been to renovate my house and make it comfortable for my household and i. I want to remove the thatch and replaced it with zinc for better comfort during the rainy season.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
RE: Givedirectly is doing extremely well for me and my household. Because completing my children school fees this academy year was the hardest thing that worried me, but with givedirectly cash transfer, that was settled. And now my house i had been wishing for years to renovate is going to be possible in few weeks from now.
What did you spend your most recent transfer(s) on?
RE: I am going to spend the most of my recent transfer on purchasing zinc, nails and gas to produce planks for the renovation of my house. There is no comfort in a leaking house especially during this kind of rainy season. I am overly grateful to givedirectly for this program.
