My life is better now in that, No one can suspect me off having HIV/AIDS since my health has improved because I feed well and on time due to the transfers that have helped me buy food in the household. I also live a happy life because I resumed rearing livestock. From the time the karamojong warriors attacked Teso and looted our cattle, I never bought any but thanks to GD that I now own cattle. These transfers have also increased my business capital and its booming to the fact that I can even fill a car full of hide and skin as compared to the past.

In my opinion, GD has helped me boost my business of hide and skin which was collapsing before I received transfers. These transfers have also enabled me renovate my house in terms plastering, Flooring and installing strong door. The transfers also helped me acquire household items like mattress, net and shoes. In addition to that, I love the fact that GD did collaborate with government because had they worked in conjunction with the government, we wouldn't have received all our transfers due to much corruption in the system. However, GD should not listen to rumors from neighbors because some people could be having their petty wrangles and they end up giving wrong information about others. The program has not benefited other people in the village due to false information fed to the field team by community members.

I spent my transfer on purchasing livestock. From the time I was visited by GD field team during enrollment stage, I informed them that I live with HIV/AIDS. This prompted me to acquire livestock for milk production that I can consume to boost my health. Other than milk production, I can also use the very livestock for plowing.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that, my business is now booming because of the support I received from GiveDirectly. Before I received my cash transfer, I had to struggle to maintain my business in motion.

The moment I received my first cash transfer, I felt happy because it relieved me off the stress that was put on my small Proceedings from my business.

I spent my first cash transfer for buying cement worth UGX 247,500, I bought a metallic door at UGX 170,000, for renovating my house. I paid for labour of UGX 170,000, and bought sand of UGX 90,000. Part of the requirements for renovation was aggregates which I bought worth UGX 90,000. I bought beddings worth UGX 90,000. The balance of UGX 842,500, I am topped to my business of buying skins and hides.
