"My life is currently different from how it was in that I am currently able to get better resources for my education like books which was so hard in the past. I am current able to save some amount for my future use at the moment unlike before."

"My life is currently different from how it was four months ago in that I currently have monthly transfer as my security in life. I am able to give my family their basic wants with the assistance of GD funds. It has made my life easier getting my needs and also giving my children better education."

"Receiving this money means an empowerment to engage more in projects that will help my children get better education, and good health care. I always have projects that I can work on but it has become impossible due to lack of finances to initiate them."

"Getting a better job to sustain my family have been the biggest hardship in my life. The little I get working casually can hardly sustain my family's needs such as food and education. Moreover, I have been unable to increase the size of land under cultivation due to lack of inputs. "

"I became sick with chronic stomach ache while I was in Primary School and my parents used almost everything at the expense of my treatment. This left them with no money to take me to School and I ended up dropping out of School at standard seven. My aim was to pursue with my education until university level but I did not manage and that has been the biggest hardship in my life."

"Receiving this money means I will be able to own a dairy cow. The one we currently have belongs to a relative and I am sure it won't take long before we relinquish it. Owning a cow will accord us with milk that will sustain my family financially and with good health. This means that I can afford the impending secondary education for my two children. To me this money is life changing. "

"When I received my first transfers, I used 1,000,000ugx for paying off the mortgage amount that I had borrowed for paying tuition for my children for the previous terms since I had given an acre of farm land as security. I paid tuition for the current term worth 300,000ugx since we value education for our children, the balance of 400,000ugx, I have started a small business of buying and selling charcoal/firewood which gives me some daily profit that I use for feeding my family, meeting medical bills and other school requirements."

"The biggest hardship I am faced with is inadequacy of money to cater for the education needs of my children. "

"The biggest hardship I face in life is how to pay school fees for my children. I retired seven years ago, therefore I can not afford to cater for my children's education needs. Last term they missed some exams because they were sent home due to lack of school fees. "

"Receiving this money means my child who is yet to do his KCSE exam this year will comfortably finish his secondary education because I will use some of the money to clear his school fee arrears."
