"I was woken up by a message on my phone early in the morning. On checking to confirm, it was from GiveDirectly informing me that I had received my first transfer. I was very happy to receive the money. It was something I never expected in my life. I was happy that finally, GiveDirectly had fulfilled their promise."

"In the next six months, I expect my life to change because I will have two extra sources of income from the dairy farm and the poultry keeping that I am about to sart."

"The biggest hardship I face is lack money for educating my children. I donot have money to pay fees for my children studying in Bukedea secondary school and kolir."

"Receiving this money means that I shall be able to educate my children. I shall use the transfers to pay school fees for my girl studying Bukedea secondary school."

"The biggest hardship I face currently is lack of money for educating my children. "

"The biggest hardship that I am faced with is inadequacy of land for me to cultivate. "

"Receiving this money means that I will be in position to build an iron roofed house. "

"My life is different than it would have been if I never received the transfer because I could not have built our kitchen. We used to have a single house that served as the kitchen as well as the living room. Accordingly, I am so happy that my family has adequate space that is marked by separate cooking and living houses. Thus, we lead a better life, somthing that could not have happened if not for the financial boost from GiveDirectly."
