How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
My life is different in that I acquired cows that I never evwn thought I would own. Had I not received these transfers, poverty would have killed my whole family. I bought food that sustained us during the prolonged famine. I would not be boasting of what I own now had I not received these cash transfers.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
Give directly did so well to give me cash transfers that helped me alot. I was living under the mercy of God but give directly saved from the wrath of poverty.
What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent my second transfer to buy two cows worth 1,100,000ugx and I also bought some food and household basic items.
