The cash transfers have changed my social life and family status. I constructed a lovely two roomed house. In addition to this,I reclaimed two pieces of farm land after clearing a huge loan. These farm lands will increase my crop cultivation. In the past, I had only one piece of land to cultivate on and with no money to reclaim the other farmlands due to the huge loan burden. I am delighted that our family will not suffer from famine in the future.

In my opinion< GiveDirectly did well to send me cash transfers that have transformed my household. GiveDirectly has only done great things to our community.

I spent my second cash transfer to pay my old loan and reclaimed my farmland. I also bought household items such as a solar panel, utensils, a mattress, a bed. I hired a piece of farm land. I also bought food for the family. The balance of UGX 100000, I am planning to spend it on any emergencies incase of an outbreak of sicknesses.

My life has got better because I have been in position to plaster my house both in and out, I am now staying in a decent house. I have also been relieved from the debt burden that I had and I was enable to get back my acre of land which had acted as security. I am also having better bedings, utensils and a water drum. Before, I used to stay in a dusty house because I didn't have funds to plaster it. I had a lot off stress as a result of the debt.

The moment I received my money, I became very happy because this money had come at a right time when I needed it to clear the debt that I had.

I spent my first transfer on purchasing 18 bags of cement, 2 trips of sand and labour for plastering my house at UGX 804,000. I paid off the mortgage worth UGX 500,000 and got back my acre of land that had acted as security. Further more I bought a mattress at UGX 140,000, bed at UGX 120,000, water drum at UGX 50,000, Utensils at UGX 20,000 and food at UGX 66,000.
