How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
My life has improved very much since receiving money from Givedirectly, i managed to build a house and i have enough food for the whole family up until next harvesting season, we are having more meals the way we desire unlike in the past before receiving money from Givedirectly.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
There is no any aspect of this program that i think is a down side, i believe Givedirectly is a very good Organization and i am very grateful to be part of this program.
What did you spend your most recent transfer(s) on?
I have used the most of my transfer from Givedirectly to buy bricks, cement and 4 bags of maize and some other farming tools such as hoes and a panga knife, i didn't have a decent house, it was in a bad shape so i decided to build a new house
