GiveDirectly has made me do farming investment as I wished. It has been my main objective to practice cash crop farming, but since I had no land, I was unable to do it in a larger scale in order to realize the full benefit. I realized that, if resources are available, someone can easily tap the available resources for wealth creation. I now have things which I had desire to have.

GiveDirectly has outsmarted other NGOs on the structure of how they do their work, by giving households fund. Everyone had opportunity to get his/ her own money directly from the main source, which most organizations confine their programs as per their own decision. We had power and freedom to use the money as per our needs without restrictions. The organization left other needy people without enrolling them into the program. There were so many genuine cases which was not addressed. Some were perceived to imposters, yet they were not.

I spent the second transfer on leasing 2 acres of land which I have planted sugarcane. I believe that farming will give me stable income. Since I don't have enough parcel of land, and I had to lease a land. I also managed to buy building materials to construct a new house, which already is a complete project.

The biggest difference brought to my life by this transfer is that I am no longer having problems with Government officials because I did not have a toilet. Right now, I am at peace and I no longer hide whenever they come in my area.

I felt very good because I know I will never go without food again which has been my major problem.

I spent my transfer on buying steel windows and doors which I fitted in my house. I also bought tiles, cement and bricks which I used in building a pit latrine since this is a swampy area and temporary toilet is not durable.
