Life is different in that I am happy to have built an iron sheet roofed house, because it has become difficult to find roofing grass every year, the bulls bought ease the work of ploughing gardens without spending money that would been the case when hiring oxen. Those were my major issues before I enrolled to receive these transfers.

In my opinion, GiveDirectly has done well giving money directly that has enabled people in the village to build houses, acquire livestock, taxi motorcycles; and I don't see anything it hasn't done well.

My second transfer was spent to buy two bulls, hired cultivation land, bought household items like mattress, bedsheets, a solar, and completed building a house.

My daily life greatest difference is having bought my wife a phone that enables us to freely communicate and seeing that my house looks nice and beautiful. This is because of the household items such as the new bed, matress, bedsheets, curtains and utensils that beautify it.

When I recieved my money, I felt happy. Looking back, the happiness I felt then was because I knew that the poverty I was facing (lacking enough labor in terms farming, and timely feeding) was coming to an end as I planned to see that to it that I get bulls for ploughing.

I spent my first transfer on buying two bulls (Ugx 1100000). I also used some of my transfer to buy scholastic materials such as books, shoes, bag, uniform, food and pencils then take my child to school since she is just starting school this year. I then bought some household items like beddings (Ugx 95000), utensils, clothes. I then bought my wife a phone at Ugx 50000.
