My life is different in that I would not be in position to acquire the two bulls that will help me in the issue of agriculture. Formally, I used to hire oxen for ploughing which required me to wait on other people hence late farming and poor harvest leading to insufficient foodstuff in my home. Now that I have my own oxen this will not require me to wait on other people leading to timely ploughing and a proper harvest.

GiveDirectly has done well by uplifting me from a low level of living to a better standard of life. This is for the fact that I have acquired the bulls that I thought I would never get. On the other hand, GiveDirectly has brought great development in the community and there is nothing bad with its work.

I spent my second transfer to buy two bulls at Ugx 1100000. I then bought some seedling Ugx 200000 that I will plant during the farming season. I also used Ugx 100000 to top up on my children's school fees. I then used the balance of the transfer to cater household goods like clothes, utensils, and feeding my family.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that, I'm able to meet my daily needs for the family as a man as opposed to the days when my spouse could ask me money for them and I couldn't provide as much.

The moment I received the message of the money in my phone, I was too excited to the extent of releasing tears of joy. When my wife found me crying, I told her what had happened and she said, "Praise the Lord."

I have spent my first transfer on paying a loan of Ugx 500000, bought an ox plough at Ugx 260000 and household utensils at Ugx 200000. I also started a boutique business at Ugx 400000, bought a metallic door for my mother in-law at Ugx 150000 and paid my medical bills of Ugx 90000. The remaining balance of the money was spent on feeding.
