My life is different in that I have been in position to acquire a cow as my asset. This cow will act as a means of saving as I can not just keep money in the house. In the long run, it will be my investment when it calves such that in case of any problem I can sell off its calf to cater for the need at that moment. It will also bring in daily income as I will be selling the milk to raise money to sustain the day to day expenses in my family as compared to before when life was really difficult as I had assets and had to just keep toiling in other people's farm lands to raise little income that would sustain my family.

GiveDirectly has done well by giving me unconditional cash transfers that has helped me to acquire personal assets like livestock, the household items (utensils, chairs among others) that I purchased. However, GiveDirectly has done nothing bad as almost everyone in the community wants its to get back and add more transfers.

I spent my second transfer to buy a cow at Ugx 900000, cater for household needs like clothes, solar, chairs, scholastic materials and feeding my family. I also bought some seedlings at Ugx 120000 that I will plant when the farming season starts. I am saving 200000 for cases of emergency.

I can buy food in the house, seek medical treatment in case any child or me fall victim. My house also looks beautiful and cute because I have purchased household items namely mattress, clothes, bed sheets among others.

I felt so happy when I saw the message from Give Directly indicating receipt of money. Since I have been having farming challenges due to luck of oxen, I was delighted that I'm going to use this transfer buy my oxen which will enable me farm on time hence improved harvest.

I bought livestock at ugx 940000, Household items like Clothes, mattress, Curtains, bed sheets, Utensils, jerrycans, Basin at Ugx 450000, Solar lamp ugx 30000, Feeding ugx 8000. My spouse is in a military training and he requested some money which I sent him ugx 300000.
