"My life is different than if I had not recieved cash transfers in that, I am now happy because of the support I have received from Give Directly. Much as I am a widow, I have acquired high self esteem. Before, I received cash transfer, I had low self esteem, felt neglected and I used to sleep in a leaking grass thatched house."

"My life is different than if I had not received cash transfers in that, I can now easily get money on a daily basis that I use for solving household challenges. Before I received cash transfer, it was very difficult to earn even UGX 20,000 in a month."

"My life is different than if I had not received cash transfers in that, my standard of living has improved. Before, I used to do daily casual labour in order to make ends meet."

"My life is different than if I had not received cash transfer in that, before, I used to sleep in a grass thatched house that was leaking but now I sleep in a better iron roofed house hence improved standard of living."

"My life is different than If I had not received cash transfer in that, I am now an empowered person because I have a bull for ploughing, a cow for milk production and soon I will finish renovating my house and live a better life. Before receiving this cash transfer, I used to hire bulls for ploughing which was very expensive."

"My life is different in that my family now does not sleep hungry because ever since I acquired the second bull, we plough on time hence we get enough food. Unlike before, I had to wait for other people to finish ploughing so that I could borrow their bulls to plough my gardens."

"My life is different in that, I now have Livestock (bulls) which I use to plough my gardens in time not like before when I used to delay because I had to hire bulls from other people.I could not have gotten this Livestock if I never received the transfer."

"On my usual day, i wake up like 5am in the morning then prepare myself ready for bodaboda(motorcycle business) Normally i do not take tea in the house because i usually have customers rushing for work and i have to take them. Mostly I work morning hours like from 5am to 11 am then i go back home to relax since there's no job at those other times. I will resume again at around 2pm to 8:30pm in the evening then I go back home calling it a day. On my free time i stay in my house listening to music and chatting with my family to create a stronger bond. Sometimes i go to watch football at football arena with my friends of whom i haven't seen for a week or so."

"My life is different in that, I'm now very happy because I have managed to clear a debt which was stressing me. Secondly I have also managed to marry another wife to help me take care of my children since their mother passed on, I could not have achieved all the above had I not received this transfer."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that now I'm constructing a good house for my family because the strong winds blew off the roof of my old house and it links whenever it rains."
