"Currently my life has greatly changed because I was able to complete building my house and improve the standard of my living. Prior to building using the transfer I got, my family and I had to suffer the fate of sleeping under a leaking grass thatched roof during the rainy season and living with rodents during the dry season. In addition to this, feeding has greatly improved in my house as compared to before when we just had do depend on one meal, eat sugarless porridge or at times go hungry."

"My life is different as compared to the past because I now have land to farm on which I never had previously. As a family, we all sleep on mattresses as compared to the past when it was me and my husband who slept on the mattress while the children slept on papyrus mats or sacks. I'm glad to rear livestock of my own which in the past I craved for and kept on admiring other household's livestock. Lastly I was able to add household items like utensils, jerry cans among others which weren't enough."

"My life has greatly changed in that, I built a permanent house. In the past, I slept in a dilapidated thatched house that was leaking. I wasn't able to build a better house although I wanted due to lack of a strong financial muscle. In addition, I bought an ox that will increase on my crop production as compared to the past when I tilled the land with my hands."

"My life has changed because I have manged to pay school fees on time. My children are now very happy because this term they have not been chased away from school. Secondly, I have got a companion (wife) who does household functions compared to before when I did a lot of work by myself since I was a single parent."

"I am currently riding some body's motorbike and the bike owner expects UGX 50,000 weekly that leaves me with little money for addressing my family needs. Having received these transfers, I am now in the process of look for a suitable motorbike to buy. Once I get my own bike, I will have enough money to pay my children's school fees, agriculture and I will be in position to save money for maintaining my motorbike since all the money I make will be mine."

"My life has improved in that, I renovated my house. Previously, I lived in a dusty house which was not cemented because I couldn't afford renovating it for lack of money. Secondly, I regained ownership for my acre of land that I gave as collateral for the loan I collected. Before, I cultivated on only two acres of land that couldn't yield enough food for my family."

"I expect to have bought the building materials and extended my small house which will now accommodate my large family comfortably. The sofa seats that I am still paying for will also be in my possession too. By then, I shall have ventured into poultry farming which will help in raising income for the family."

"I expect to save and add more poultry to help boost my chicken rearing business which is the main source of income for my family. By the end of the six months, I shall have ventured into tomato farming to help in quick generation of income for the family."

"In the next six month, I expect to have expanded my shop business. I believe it will attract more customers hence increase in my daily sales. I will be more self-dependant and also offer financial assistance to my younger siblings."

"Prior to receiving this transfer, I didn't have a house of my own. I rented a room at the trading center and this could not give me an opportunity to develop because most of the money I got was spent on rent. Upon receiving first money from GiveDirectly, I prioritized buying construction materials and when my second transfer was sent, it enable me pay construction workers. I am current sleeping in my own house and I have acquired two cows for milk and to help settle future needs."
