"My life is different because the cash was sent to me at a time when I had just been involved in a tragic road accident and the suggestion from the doctors was for my limbs to be amputated in the event that I never had enough cash to go through the medical procedures. In addition to that, I would have never managed to do the final touches on my house like I have done so far and its all due to the financial help from give directly."

"Before I received my transfers from GiveDirectly, I was living in a small leaky grass-thatched house in my father's compound. However, with the support I received, I have established my home and built a spacious iron-roofed house where we currently live in peacefully. In addition, I have an adequate space within my home where I have begun to keep some livestock. From the motorbike, I have been able to make some extra income thus I am always able to support my family better than I could do before. I thank GiveDirectly for the support it accorded us."

"I don't expect my life to change much because I am still focusing on my daughter's school fee payment. This will not allow me to invest the transfers on anything tangible, but I am sure I will be living a stress-free life because I will have made a lot of improvements in the school fees sector. After this,I will focus on constructing a new kitchen because I don't have any at the moment."

"In the next six months, I hope to be living in a better condition than I am now. This is because I am currently planning to plaster our house which will improve its general appearance and make it durable as well. This will also give my wife a break from the constant renovations that she has to do after every rainy season. Since our house is made of mud, it is usually easily destroyed by the rains hence the repairs."

"I plan to start up a general merchandise shop business in Bukedea town with the transfers. I will be selling to my customers thus raising money that can continue sustaining the family. "

"The biggest hardship I face is lack of money for building ironroofed house and providing basic needs to my children studying. "

"The biggest hardship I face is sickness. My waist and chest pains alot and I do work with difficulty."

"Receiving this money means, I shall be able to use it for purchasing a piece of land that i will cultivate crops."

"My life is different in that I now have enough water for my family. In the past I used to walk for long distance to fetch water and this used to take most of my time. I am now happy since I no longer take most of my time fetching water and I can now have enough time to work in my farm. I also used part of transfer to start a poultry farming which is a constant source of income to meet my basic needs and I no longer depend on my husband to cater for the basic needs of my family."

"My life is now different in that I now have a better and spacious new house and I am now able to keep my children in school."
