"The biggest hardship I face is lack of a diversified source I income. I rely on farming as the main source of income yet it is not even in large quantity. That has limited liquidity in my household which makes my household vulnerable during the times of illness as food shortage. "

"Receiving this money means acquiring all the necessary household items that have not been adequate like utensils, beddings, curtains, to mention. I have some of those items but they are not enough. It also means paying school fees for my children. I have been having challenges paying tuition for my children because the little salary that my spouse gets is not enough hence their school attendance has been irregular."

"Receiving this money means that I will be able to purchase oxen and ox-plough . This has been my wish for avery long period of time since I rely on farming as a source of earning. I will freely engage in earlier crop planting because oxen is an additional Labour force to facilitate easy tilling of land. Iam sure my family will no longer suffer much famine since it's possible to maximise production."

"The biggest hardship I have faced is lack of money to fully cater for my family's needs. I have hardship in paying school fees, medical bills and other basic needs of the children."

"My daily life is better because I feed well hence making me healthy. Before, I never fed on a balanced diet and at times even slept hungry."

"I expect your life to change in the next six months in that I will have saved enough from the sales of eggs to continue paying for my children in school. This will give me humble time to concentrate on other investment that generates good returns."

"Receiving this money means buying an additional acre of farm land in order to support food production. I have only one acre of farm that is not enough to produce food for both my family consumption and sale."

"My daily life has tremendously improved in that, I sleep in a permanent house and feed well. Previously, I slept in a dilapidated house which almost collapsed on me and couldn't afford good meals since I lived in severe poverty."

"I received the cash transfer news from my daughter inlaw the next day. I was very happy and excited when I heard that I had received UGX 1730250 from GiveDirectly."

"The biggest impact is that I am overjoyed that GiveDirectly chose to send me the cash transfers at my advanced age. My joy lies in the fact that I will be in position to construct a commercial house which will earn me income."
