When I got my second transfer, I was able to regain ownership of my land by paying off the mortgage amount of 800,000ugx which am going to cultivate to get food for my household, I a gain lent some one 500,000ugx in exchange for an acre of land that I will be cultivating until he pays back my money. The balance of 233,000ugx, I used for purchasing household items in order to improve on the living conditions.

Give directly has done well by empowering the poor through giving unconditional cash transfers that have changed people's lives. On the other hand, Give directly has not done well by not covering every body especially the youths who are still at home but lack the capacity to begin an Income generating activity.

The main difference is that i have self esteem and can now cultivate on a large piece of land than if I had not received this support, there would have been good insecurity at my household.

I used my first transfer for getting land on mortgage. I gave the owner of the land 1,000,000UGX for two gardens which he will take back when he pays me my money. I also bought the bed, two matresses, clothes and food for my family members.

The moment i received money i ululated with joy in my heart and told my wife immediately. The whole village joined in ululation as other people also got mobile money messages in their phones.

I am a different person now, we dress well in our family, my wife respects me as a man who can provide for her and our children. Am also proud because i have land to cultivate and above all conected to other people through my mobile phone. I did not know i would ever hold a phone.
