How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
My life has really changed in that I now own my personal cows not only depending on for my husband. I'm so happy as well than before.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
What GD has done well is giving us direct transfers individually other than passing it through other organs. The move has eliminated corruption and the right beneficiaries get all their transfer.
What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent 1620000ugx to three cows and the remaining 13000ugx I bought sugar and meat.
