"My life has got better because I have got a motorbike which generates income that supports my family in buying food, paying medical bills, my daughter's school fees and any need that arises. The acre of land that I got will increase my crop production. Before, I didn't have a stable source of income. I use do actual labour in people's gardens that fetched very little income about UGX 2,000 a day. I had only one acre of land that couldn't produce enough food crops for the demand of the family."

"I expect in the next six months to have started poultry farming. The egg production will assit me in payment of school fees and purchase other household needs."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that, I am happy because of being one of the beneficiaries. I am in the process of constructing my house that I thought I would die without owning one. Before, I used to live a miserable life being a widow, life was not simple. I sleep in a grass thatched leaky house that lacks the comfort needed for an individual."

"My life is different because I own an acre of land which will enable me farm in large quantities. Previously, I had only one garden which limited my farming thus affecting food production for the family."

"I expect in the next six months to have complete my house. I will manage this using the saving I have in our table banking and the transfers."

"My life has changed in that, I'm now constructing a permanent house. Currently, I stay in an old thatched house which is a haven for rats that have always destroyed our clothes and eaten our feet. In addition, these rats harbour lice that feast on our blood and deny us peaceful sleep. Previously, I didn't have the money to commence with the construction of the permanent house."

"My life is different in that I would not be in position to acquire the two bulls that will help me in the issue of agriculture. Formally, I used to hire oxen for ploughing which required me to wait on other people hence late farming and poor harvest leading to insufficient foodstuff in my home. Now that I have my own oxen this will not require me to wait on other people leading to timely ploughing and a proper harvest."

"My life has improved because I'm sleeping in a beautiful permanent house. Before, I could not continue with the project of building because I had other pressing needs like paying school fees for my 6 children who are in private schools. In addition, I have gained confidence and respect in my community. Before, some people could mock me and I lost confidence."

"The moment I received my first cash transfer, I felt happy and thanked God in prayer. The happiness came because I had never held such an amount of money, it was a blessing to my family."

"I felt very excited when I received my first transfer from GiveDirectly. For I knew, I was going to regain an acre of land that was under the control of the creditor hence more land for crop production."
