"My life is different in that I can do anything that I desire since I have the money. Before all this would not be possible since I had no money."

"My life is different in that my family now has good shelter and I can afford food for my family unlike before my family used to sleep in licking house and I could hardly afford a meal for my family."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that initially, my harvest yields were poor and not enough for my family because I had nothing efficient enough to help me in my farming for early preparation and proper timing. Now that I have the pair of oxen, I will do my farming intensively in order to increase food production."

"My life has improved ever since I received these transfers from Give directly. For example My business has improved because it was in the verge of collapsing. I injected some money to my Business which has boosted it's survival. I have also joined a savings group of Mary go round whereby every week we save Ugx 5000."

"When I received my cash transfer, I felt so happy because GiveDirectly had fulfilled their promise. I had never received this a mount of money from any body as a grant."

"When I received my cash transfer, I stayed calm for fear of thieves and collected it on the second day as per my plan of buying a motor cycle."

"In the next six months, I will be living a better life where my house rent will be the least of my concerns. My parents will no longer have to struggle to send me money for rent. They can divert the resources to my siblings back at home."

"My life is different in that I now live in a more comfortable house that I built with the cash transfers. I am so happy now compared to the before. I would have remained miserable had I not received the cash transfer."

"My life is now different in that I can afford to buy household necessities for my family since my small retail business earns me daily income and my family now dresses well which was not the case before."

"The biggest difference is that I feed well and live in a permanent house. This was not the case before the transfers were sent. We used to stay in a semi-permanent house by this I mean the walls were made of mad but smeared with cow dung one could think its plastered. My business has picked up so well and the income has also improved. This allows us to feed and dress modestly compared to before you can tell we are doing better."
