"We are getting into a planting season where every one prepares their land for the on-coming season. I plan to buy new seedlings and fertilizers that I will use where my main target is to get bumper harvest during the harvesting period. Having enough food is an important aspect in any human beings life because it makes the family food secure for a period of lets say five to six months before we can get into another planting season."

"In the next six months, I want to have a bought a dairy cow. This will assist me to get some income from milk production. I will manage this by saving the transfers and add more from the income I get through casual jobs I do."

"In the six months, I expect to start a business on second hands clothing. This would enable me to earn more income which will make an opening to think of other income-generating projects. I am also saving some money which I want to use to purchase a piece of land which I will build my home on. I believe in the next six months I would have saved enough money for down payment."

"I expect my life to change a lot in the next six months because we shall have more land for farming and subsequently expect more income from the sale of farm products including milk and crops. After securing the additional acreage, we shall plant more crops and ensure our cows are well fed to provide more milk. Besides, I will be spending more time on my farm, and significantly reduce the amount of time and energy that I could otherwise be spending on my neighbors' farm. There be a switch on the main source of income from the casual work that I normally do at my neighbors' farm to being self-employed and working on my farm. Thanks a lot GD for giving us a helping hand at the best time in our life."

"My biggest hardship is financial instability. Eversince the government placed a ban on burning of charcoal,getting money to take care of my children's needs has turned into an uphill task. Presently,the six of us are forced to squeeze in a one roomed structure that has only a polythene bag in its place for a roof. Whenever it rains,we are all forced to relocate to my other relatives houses. It has become even impossible to recall when we last ate three meals consistently per day,on most occasions,we tend to skip lunch so that we save the little we have for supper.Seeing my children going through all this suffering pains me a lot because like all parents,I really want to provide for them a comfortable life."

"I have peace of mind because I cleared the debt which I had got for paying school fees for my child. Before, I had a lot of stress because I had no source of income. In addition, I'm sleeping in a permanent house. In the post, I slept in a grass thatched hut."

"My life is different than it would have been because I now sleep on a mattress, and can afford two meals in a day. Before, I used to sleep on ground with a mat, go hungry without food or just take maize flour porridge as a meal."

"Life is different than it would have been because I am very happy that this money has enabled me afford a cow and household items that I never would have in a life time. There's no way the above items would have come to my home without GiveDirectly, and I am very happy. "

"Life is different than it would have been because I am soon moving from a grass thatched house to an iron roofed house, I get better daily income of atleast Ugx.10,000 a day from my second hand cloth business, and I am now better in utilizing money. Before, my life was spent sleeping under a grass thatched house that would leak during rainy season, and on a good day, I only make Ugx.2,000 to support my livelihood making life a real misery."

"My life is different than it would have been because I have bought clothes, hence, improved dressing, there's regular changing of food type and I am more happy in life. Before, I would spend the whole day and night making bricks for others neglecting to take care of myself, and always feeding on one type of meal every other day."
