"Through this support I was able to settle the debt that was got for my treatment and operation. I am now a happy mother of twin . This transfer also facillated the required treatment and buying food until I recovered fully. I didn't have hope of getting money, honestly my relatives couldn't have borrowed UGX 1,050,000 if I wasn't excepting any money from GiveDirectly because there was no way of paying it back. They would have taken me to the nearest health center where I could have lost my life or the twin I was expecting. Even buying soft food like rice and irish was expective."

"My life has changed because I have got the money to buy a microscope that I couldn't afford before. This will enable me conduct tests of malaria, bacterial infection and typhoid in my clinic. Paying school fees for my children is going to be easy because I expect increased profits from the clinic once microscope is bought. I currently referring most of my patients to go for testing in other clinics because I didn't have a microscope."

"My life has changed because this transfer has made my house look new again. I also paid school fees, bought clothes and bedings. Previously, I had a desire to renovate my house but I didn't achieve it. The little money I got was spent on feeding and paying children's school fees."

"My life is different now because I have got alot with this transfer. I now own a new mattress, a bed, utensils and above all I sleep in an iron roofed house that I never thought of constructing at my old age. Before, I was sleeping in a one roomed hurt that could leak whenever it rains. I had to renovate it yearly that was difficult for me because the thatch is scarce in our community. I had a smaller matress that was not user friendly and without a bed."

"I had never thought in my life that I would one day build a new house. It seemed to be a dream that would never come true. However, this became true to me that morning I received the notification from GiveDirectly. I heard a message on my phone and on checking to confirm, it was from GiveDirectly that I had received my first transfer. I was overwhelmed with joy and thankful to GiveDirectly for financial support."

"Owning the pair of oxen is the biggest difference in my daily life since I had none previously. I used to hire from neighbours which were costly to me. Through the transfer, I was able to purchase a pair of oxen which will not only increase my acreage but also ensure early preparations and timely planting."

"My life is different than it would have been if I never received the transfer because we have acquired two cows. We had sold all the cattle that we had on educating our children."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that we were getting little income from what my husband was earning when he was employed. This always made us unable to meet some of the basic necessities for our family. Owning our own motorcycle has increased our daily income and we can now comfortably provide some basic needs like daily food and clothing for our family that previously seemed difficult for us to provide."

"I expect my life to have changed in the next six months because I will have an additional source of income from my poultry. I will be running an egg production and the sales from it will be a constant source of income."

"Back at home, my siblings and i are orphans and i am the sole breadwinner of the family. This has been a great challenge since my two sisters are currently studying in secondary school yet i struggle alot to pay their school fees. I engage in casual jobs such as going to the river to fetch water to sell in the nearby shopping center as well as going to the forest to fetch firewood which i also sell daily to earn a living. I earn upto ksh 200 per day which is barely enough to meet the needs of my own family as well as the needs of my siblings back at home."
