How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
My life is different than it would have been if I never received the transfer in that I am now independent since i have my own home unlike before when I was a dependant of my sister.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
In my opinion, Give Directly does well to consider recipients who have no homes (who are housed by relatives) to get transfers. Also the definition of a household by GD is the best.
