My life is different than if I never received cash transfers in that, I now have peace of mind and I am a stress free person because my household has met most of the basic needs.

In my opinion, Give Directly has done well by giving poor people unconditional cash transfers that have changed people's livelihood. According to me, Give Directly needs to increase in the amount of cash transfers given out since the value of the local currency low.

When I received my second transfer, I used it for buying 16 iron sheets worth 464,000ugx, I bought beddings like two beds at 160,000ugx, a mattress at 95,000ugx in order to improve on our living conditions. I gave my mother 100,000ugx to use as transport while going to see my sick grand mother. I have also lent my neighbour 300,000ugx in exchange for an acre of farm land that I am cultivating until he pays it back. The balance of 514,000ugx, I want to use for making bricks that I will use for building my permanent house in order to improve on our living conditions.

I spent my first transfer for clearing a debt at 500,000Ugx that was got for paying my tuition and I was in position to get back my garden that was taken by the money lender, I also bought a bull at 620,000Ugx and hired a garden at 50,000Ugx for one season, the remaining transfer am planning to spend to buy another bull to supplement the one I have for ploughing my gardens.

The moment I recieved my money, I became very happy.

The biggest difference in my life is that am very happy that I have been in position to own a bull, I have also got back my garden that was taken by a money lender, I have hired one more garden to supplement the one l got back and am planning to plant beans, in so doing increasing food production that was initially very low.
