My life has greatly changed because this transfer has made it posdible for me to own a bigger bed and a mattress. Futher more, I'm in the process of constructing a permanent house for my family members. Before, I used to sleep on a smaller mattress for 13 years of our marriage. I had a challenge of looking for scare thatch yearly to renovate my hurt.

In my opinion, GiveDirectly has done well to make me handle and spend large amount of cash which I couldn't have got in my entire life. GiveDirectly has only done good to.

I spent my second transfer for 10 bags of cement, Timber, 10 pieces of iron sheets and binding wire all together at UGX 1,050,000 and paid for construction labour at UGX 400,000. I bought food at UGX 82,000 and paid school fees at UGX 100,000.

My life has changed tremendously because I have peaceful nights and I do not over think like i used to due to poverty. My children could sleep on the mats and when there was no money to buy they slept on mosquito nets. When I bought a mattress I handed them the old one I was using and they are so happy.

First and foremost, I was so happy because I haven't held this amount of money my entire life. I thanked God for this opportunity because not everyone in the village benefited and my body was fully energized and couldn't let anyone lay hands on my phone in fear of losing a phone and money. I used to suffer looking for grass and when the owners of the land find me cutting their grass they chase me therefore I don't get enough grass to thatch my house. During rain season there was no difference between me and the person sleeping under a tree and Sometimes I could sell little I have to buy grass.

When I received my token transfer, I reflected to my standards of living how my children sleep on mats and mosquito net as their mattresses. My children could complain about bed sores every morning they wake up. I decided to buy household items i.e mattress, bed and clothes that took ugx 750000. I having been suffering with a challenge of grass for thatching the house and when I got this transfer I planned on constructing a iron roofed house and I first bought construction materials namely, Bricks, cement and iron sheets at ugx 980000 and when I receive my last transfer I start the construction immediately. I also saved ugx 100000 with my mother in a form of a loan which will pay back. I got for my child an admission to school which I paid ugx 20000. Feeding was a challenge too in my household and I used ugx 210000.
