I spent my second transfer for buying a cow at 700,000Ugx, paid off a morgage of 500,000Ugx for my garden and the remaining money we used for buying Bricks.

In my opinion Give Directly has done well to give me cash which has greatly changed my life for the better and Give Directly has not done anything bad.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that am now happy because of my garden that I have got back and my cow, If l wouldn't have got this money buying a cow and getting back my garden was not going to be easy for me and my husband.

I was able to purchase iron sheets worth 390,000 ugshs, one bag of cement at 30,000 ugshs, purchased three bags of maize as away of saving my money for buying bricks when they are available worth 300,000 ugshs, purchased cassava at 100,000 ugshs,a bed and mattress at 100,000 ugshs, purchased a wooden door and tables at 120,000 ugshs, utensils and clothes I bought at 70,000 ugshs and the balance of 590,000 I have it in cash from waiting for bricks when they are available to purchase since they are scarce now due to high demand.

I was very happy because I had been in poverty for a number of years but a well wisher came my way and has sent me that amount of money without paying back.

It's very good to see that my living conditions and and standards have changed. Formally, I was sleeping in a leaking semi petmanent house but Givedirectly through my first transfers had enabled me to buy cement to renovate the house I was sleeping in. I had also acquired household utensils in order to have hygienic living conditions that have been lacking in my home. When a vistor came to my home, I would feel a shamed to draw water for the visitor because I did not have presentable cups for drawing water. I used to sleep on the floor but now I sleep on a bed and my children are clothed well compared to the previous days.
