I spent my second transfer to purchase an ox, food items, household items, paid for ploughing and weeding. I have not yet spent UGX 270,000 but I am planning to spent it for making bricks.

GiveDirectly has done well by giving me cash that I spent to buy cows and paying off the debt that we had. GiveDirectly has not done anything bad in my opinion .

Through the GiveDirectly's cash transfers, I have been in position to acquire 3 cows. In addition, I am expecting increased yields because I have planted crops(maize, ground nuts and cassava ) in a large scale of land as this money enabled me buy seeds and pay for ploughing in time. Previously, I didn't have cows of my own and I had reduced yields because I didn't have enough money to buy seed and pay for ploughing.

I spent my first transfer to purchase a cow, clothes, food, seeds(ground nuts and maize). I paid off a debt worth UGX 200,000 and in so doing, I was able to repossess my piece of land that had acted as security. I also gave my in-laws UGX 70,000 and hired oxen at UGX 60,000.

The moment I received the transfer, I became very happy because the money came at a time when my in-laws were about to pay me a visit and I didn't have enough money for hosting them.

This financial support has enabled me own a cow, feed my children on balanced diet and they now healthy. I also got back my piece of land that had been taken by the money lender. Previously, I didn't have a cow of my own, my children were sickly and I was told in the hospital that they had lacked a balanced diet. I had only one acre of land that couldn't produce enough yields to support my family.
