I spent my second cash transfer for servicing our motor cycle that is used for boda boda transport business and a bicycle that supports in fetching water for the household. I bought a cow that will act as a saving for my household. Part of the money was spent on paying school fees for our child and then helped in feeding the family, purchasing delivery kits and payment of medical bills. I have saved UGX 200000 in order to support me in weeding crops.

In my opinion, GiveDirectly has done well through making follow up calls to each beneficiary to ensure that every one received money without any risk. That is part of a good monitoring plan for the organisation. I do not see gaps in their operations.

My life has changed in that, I am feeding well because I acquired basic food items cassava for flour, posho and beans not forgetting the balanced diet that I feed on. Prior to this cash transfer, feeding had been a challenge because I was pregnant and I could not fend for the family.

I spent my first transfer for purchasing clothes for my children plus my self, food and charcoal for cooking, I also bought materials and paid for labour for plastering my house, some money I spent for starting a business of selling clothes and repairing a family motorbike that currently does transportation business which brings daily income for running our family.

The moment I recieved my money, I became very happy having in mind that this transfer was greatly going to help me address my pressing needs and enable me start up a business that generates income for my self.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that, I was able to repair our motor bike that was packed in the house and I started up a business of selling clothes that generates income for my family's needs.
