If I could not have received the transfer i could not have managed to buy oxen and I am sure I could still be hiring oxen from people and this was very expensive.

In my opinion give directly did very well by giving money to the right people without any corruption. It was a good idea of give people nonrefundable money because of the people are very poor that they could not afford to repay it back.

I spent most of the transfer to buy oxen for cultivating my farm. I thought of buying oxen because I have been having difficulty when it comes to plough season because I have to wait for other people to complete tilling there land before I could hire them to till my land and sometimes getting money to pay for hiring the oxen also becomes a big challenge. This normally leads to late caltivation resulting to poor harvest. Since I bought my oxen I am able to till my farm in time and get enough produce. I also no longer spend money to hire people's oxen to work on my farm as I used to do before. I also spent the transfer to buy iron sheets as I am planning to put up a spacious since I am currently staying in a very small house where l am not comfortable. I also spent the transfer to buy three bags of maize for my consumption since I did not get enough harvest last season because there was alot if drought. The remaining balance I spent to buy food stuffs for my family consumption and by that time my family was feeding on a well balanced diet.

The biggest difference in my life is that I have some respect from my villager members who were looking down on me because I used to beg for everything and now I do not beg anymore. Atleast, I can sit down with my friends and story unlike before when they would avoid me.

I felt very good because I did not imagine I could get it.

I spent my transfer on buying building materials such iron sheets, nails and timber which I used on building a new house and household items such seats, bedding and food.
