" My life has changed alot in that I live comfortable life and I have a peaceful mind because I have constructed a three roomed house. Secondly, the cash transfers have raised my self esteem in the community because I dress decently and my home is comfy. Had I not received the cash transfer, I would be miserable and desperate without any hope of a better life."

"In my opinion GiveDirectly does well when it I am very grateful because GiveDirectly sent me the cash transfer that has enabled me to construct a house. However I can not point out any wrongs as to where GiveDirectly could have not done well in its operations."

I spent my second cash transfer of UGX1,660,965 to buy timber, iron sheets, 10 bags of cement, iron bars, nails and part of it for paying the builders. I also bought some food for my family.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that I'm now building a big nice house for my family which has brought joy to me and my family.

The moment I received my money, I felt very happy and together my wife and I danced with joy.
