What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my third transfer on repairing my house which is old. I also bought a cow which will provide milk for income.
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 now stay in a good house and my health has greatly improved as a result of good feeding.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
In my opinion, Give Directly does well to give free transfers to even old recipients. However, Give Directly does not do well to stop the transfers in a short time.

What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent my second transfer on constructing a latrine since I was so badly off and I used to either go to the Bush or to the neighbours. I also bought sand, cement, stones and paid builders to repair my house.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
Having my own latrine is the biggest difference in my own life. Going to the bush is not only risky but also not hygienic.
