I have experienced a great change compared to my previous life. I now posses so many things which I never expected in my life. My children can now go to school without any hindrance, I have cultivated my two acres of land and have already planted sugarcane, out it I will be a rich man out of my farm production.

GiveDirectly has given us power in decision making in terms of expenditure. I have noticed that people can do so many things which are economically benefiting. The community members have engaged themselves in school fees payment, buying livestock, sugarcane farming, building decent houses and many more. There is also a loophole in the policy of unconditionality of the package and this has led to the misuse of the transfer. Some people use the transfer in drinking alcohol, doing none profit making activities, as a result, they end up leading a life of hopelessness.

I spent my second transfer to buy three cows and three goats and remaining amount I used to pay college fees for the daughter of my late brother . I have children who still need nutrition support and I believe that we shall have milk from my cows for the family and the surplus for sell. Education is the only inheritance that a parent can give to his children, for futures economic stability and global job market, I decided to invest in it by paying fees to my late brother's daughter.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that I now have my own livestock. This is a measure of wealth and I can be respected like the others.

I was seated with my friends late in the evening and he saw the message first, but he was doubting and in less than a minute, I also received mine. I was super excited. I confirmed that GD keeps their promises.

I spent my first transfer on buying livestock for rearing and also managed to plough a sugar plantation and the remaining on food for my family consumption.
