How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
My life has changed in that I now have hope of shifting to an iron roofed from a grass thatched leaking house. I have acquired shoes, and a matress. I used to sleep on a slim mattress which I was not confortable with on a bed.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
GiveDirectly did well to give me money that has enabled me construct an iron roofed house. They opened our minds to plan for our transfers through the sensitisations during enrollment. Every thing is good so far, nothing has been done wrongly by GiveDirectly.
What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent my second transfer for completing the construction of my house which I had started with my first transfer.
