How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
I have acquired an ox that is going to ease my agriculture. In addition,I was able to weed my ground nuts in time that has given me increased harvest this time round. Before receiving this transfer I didn't have enough money to buy an ox for myself.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
In my opinion GiveDirectly, has done well to give me cash that I have used to acquire an ox. GiveDirectly has only done good to me.
What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent my second transfer in agriculture(weeding and harvest), bought clothes a mattress, bed and food. I have not yet spent UGX 1,000,000 but I am planning to spend it later for treatment and buying food.
