"We are planning on buying land in bunamubi Village found in bududa District which goes for about $1388 an acre. The area is relatively flat, has not been affected by landslides and thus our family will be safer there. Also we are planning on buying more livestock especially a cow which goes for about $277since my husband knows how to keep and maintain animals.Also the remaining money we also planning to reinvest it and purchase coffee as we buy it cheaply and can dry it then sell it off more expensively."

My son read the message and informed me that I had received my transfer for the first time. I stopped what I was doing and leaped to my feet in joy. I yelled at the top of my lungs in jubilation because I could not believe I had received the cash. Later that evening, I told my husband the wonderful news, and he was overjoyed."

However, upon hearing the noise from my neighbourhood, I was encouraged to check my inbox too. As soon as I checked the message it was the transfer. At that moment, I felt very happy because I have been sick and I needed money to treat myself."

Upon checking it, I realized that GiveDirectly had sent me the cash as promised. Full of jubilations, I informed my mother and the following day I went and withdrew the cash and used the proceeds to pay school fees for my two children. I also took care of other family needs"
