My life is much different in that I have acquired a plot of land and hired a fertile piece of land for agriculture. At an early time before the cash transfers, I had to beg my relatives for agricultural land and food. Life was so difficult in that I could hardly feed my four children. However, I am grsteful that the cash transfers brought a life changing impact in my household.

In my opinion,GiveDirectly does well to send cash transfers to everyone in the community without segregating. Eventhough,some people did not benefit. I believe there is a reason as to why they did not.

I spent my second cash transfer to complete the purchase of a piece of land and I hired a piece of land. I also spent some money on tilling the land.

The biggest difference n my daily life so far is that my children are at school studying. I am also happy that I secured a cassava garden that will provide continuous food supply for my family. Before I received the cash transfer, we were living from hand to mouth and I had limited food supply.

I received a mobile money message at night, but never read it till early in the morning. On checking that mobile money message, I felt so happy because I had never held such an enormous amount of money at once. At that moment I believed that God had sent GiveDirectly to save me from poverty.

I spent my first transfer to purchase a plot of land for my children worth UGX 1,550,000. Then I spent UGX 20,000 to enroll my two children at a public school. I also bought a cassava plantation worth UGX 100,000. The rest of the cash transfer I am planning to spend it on purchasing grass for thatching my incomplete hut.
