"I want to start a project of keeping chicken birds so that I can expand my income net. This is a project which can generate a lot of income for me in the future because for one, the birds take a very short period to grow and there is always a ready market. What I am trying to do is to widen my source of income so that I do not have to rely on only one source."

"In the next six months, I hope to have build a modern kitchen and my boys will have a place of their own come kitchen. This has been a ling term dream but thanks to GD I see it come to accomplishment."

"My life has greatly changed in that I am healthy. This is because my son was able to take me to get proper treatment in a better health facility. Before receiving this money, my health had deteriorated and any hopes of me surviving were very minimal. Secondly, I am really grateful that I was able to get back my land that had been given out in exchange for money that was used to treat me. Before receiving this money, I had given up on ever getting it back because it was worth Ugx 900000."

"My life is now different in that, I have been able to construct permanent house. Although the construction isn't complete, I'm optimistic that very soon I will move in. I have lived in this dilapidated thatched house for long and it has been leaking with no money to either renovate it or construct an iron roofed house."

"The GiveDirectly cash transfers have enabled me enroll my three children into better private schools. In addition to this, I purchased some construction materials which will enable the construction of a permanent house. It should be noted that, I reclaimed a farm land that will boost food crop production for the family. Prior to receiving the cash transfers, my children were studying in rural poor performing schools. I am very glad that they will acquire the best education since I enrolled them into a good school."

"I became very happy the moment I received my transfer in that I couldn't get back to sleep. I thanked God Almighty for this unconditional cash."

"In the next six months God willingly I will have revamped my poultry business and it will be up and running. This will also boost my income and acquiring my medication will have been made more easier."

"There is a tremendous change in my life because I have managed to construct an Iron roofed house and now in the final stages of fixing doors and windows. I have peace of mind because I will no longer have to struggle looking for grass maintenance of a grass hut. I wouldn't have achieved this if I had not got the money from GiveDirectly. It would have taken me so many years to construct this house on my own because I don't have any source of income."

"I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I will have expanded my poultry project and I will be in a position to move to a new project of buying land near home to do horticulture farming. I will use part of my savings and the income from my poultry business to achieve this goal."

"My life is different now in that having received this money, I was able to fully complete my house. This is in terms of plastering and beautifying it compared to before when the house was too dusty and it harbored rodents causing illness such as flu every now and then. In addition to that, my life has currently improved in that because I am able to afford most necessities such as an education for my children, food, among others. Before getting this transfer, I had to do casual labor that really could not raise enough money to handle the expenses."
