My life is currently different because I am a happy old woman whose standard of living has changed postively. This is in terms of feeding (I feed timely, constantly and on a balanced diet), sleeping (I now sleep on a comfortable bed) and asset acquisition (I have my livestock). Prior to getting this transfer, I was very poor that I couldn't afford a meal or desecent bed. All I had was a heap of clothes for my bed and either one or no meal a day.

GiveDirectly in my opinion has done well by bringing financial help to me. This money has helped me to improve my standard of living. On the other hand, there is nothing bad that GiveDirectly has done.

I spent my second transfer to buy some livestock such as two pigs, chicken and a cow. I then bought some household items such as bed, bed sheets, mattress, curtains, utensils, and clothes. I also bought and stored some food stuffs.

I live a very happy life now because I managed to secure items I lacked in my house. I now sleep on a new and comfortable mattress covered with nice bed sheets and gazzeted my house with curtains making it look good and beautiful. I now have two meals a day as compared to the past when I could only eat once or sometimes go without without meal the whole day. Lastly, I own a goat which I did not have prior to GiveDirectly's cash transfer.

It was about 10 pm when I received this money. I was overwhelmed by joy to the extent that I ululated. I sat till morning simply because I couldn't sleep, I was just meditating the whole night how I will spend my transfer.

I spent my transfer on acquisition of household items like beddings, Utensils, Clothes, Curtains. I spent some money in acquiring livestock. I bought one goat that will reproduce and multiply in future. The remaining money is used it on feeding since this period was hit by a lot famine.
