My life is different than it would have been if I never received the transfers in that I spent part of it on buying a second-hand motorcycle for bodaboda business. Nowadays, I do not have to ride someone's motorcycle in order to earn a commission but instead use my own thus my income has greatly increased. I also spent my first transfer to build a three-roomed house at home where my family can spend on comfortably. In the past, we did not have a house hence we were spending at our neighbor's compound.

In my opinion, GiveDirectly does well in transforming the lives of the people through direct cash transfer. All through my life, I have never witnessed any kind of support of such magnitude in our area and for sure, the transfers greatly improved our lives. However, I have not seen what GiveDirectly does not do well.

I spent my second transfer on buying a second-hand motorcycle for bodaboda business. For a number of years, I had been operating someone's motorcycle and I could just earn a commission which in most cases was not sufficient for my household's needs. I am now independent since I am able to make more money from my own motorcycle. As a result, I can save more money for my household's future use. Lastly, I spent the rest of my second transfer on buying household items such as a bed, mattress, table, and chairs. Before GiveDirectly came, life was hard and we were using an old broken bed, with a mat instead of a mattress. We were also using very old-weak stools as seats.

Any earnings I get is mine since I do my own business, I have good and new bedding. I can now comfortably sit in my house and be entertained by the televion and radio I bought with this transfer.

I felt very happy because I now have my own motorcycle which I have been longing for and I would buy a bed so that I can sleep comfortably.

I spent my transfer on buying a second-hand motorcycle to help boost my income and to buy household items such as solar system, radio, television and bedding.
