"I would wish for my business to grow and expand to the point where I can provide a better life for my children than their father and i have had. I would also like to add some livestock on my property. a few cows, goats, and possibly some poultry. I strongly believe that all this will come to pass with time."

"Am so excited to receieve this money as am planning to buy a piece of land in bushubuya in the centre. The land there goes for abouut $1388 as the area is a bit safe and does not have landslides and mud flows in the area. Am also planning on buying a cow that can produce milk for my children to consume. The cow goes for about $555."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I am no longer living a stressful life like I used to do before. I am now a very happy mother having bought a dairy cow knowing very well that I will be able to make more money in future."

"I was enjoying a cup of tea when I got the text at exactly 4:24 pm. Upon checking what the text entailed, I realized that I had received money from GiveDirectly. I was elated with joy knowing it was an assurance I will achieve the goals I had set. I shared the news with my wife and she was equally happy. We had plans of purchasing a dairy cow and seats. It was a relief to us knowing we will get to do as planned."

"I felt so much happy the moment I received money from GiveDirectly. I was at home that day going about our daily duties when I heard my phone ring. Upon checking, I confirmed that I had indeed been sent money by GiveDirectly. I knew that I was finally going to be able to buy a dairy cow- an investment that I had always wanted to do but which I could not do because of lack of money."

"I plan to buy a cow of USD263 Which will make us have milk for domestic use. I also look at buying land at USD789 which will be used for cultivation in order for us get enough food for home consumption and selling some to get other requirements. The balance of USD789 will be used to improve coffee and banana plantations for commercial purposes."

"With this cash transfer, I plan to purchase a plot of land for settlement USD 526 in Tunwasi which is a flat and less risky place. I also plan to pay school fees USD263 for my five children who are school going in a private school for one full year. My children a direct their friends who take milk at home. So I will use USD263 to buy a cow that can provide milk for them enjoy and stop admiring those who have it always. I opt to improve my butchery business by putting in more money worth USD263 so that I can make sales daily to enable us have good life like as other see in our community living happily. Then the balance of USD526 will remain on my account as savings which will at one time be invested when a good venture comes my way."

"I see this transfer changing our lives completely and indeed we shall live good life. Therefore, I plan to buy a dairy cow worth USD526 that will enable us have good diet since we shall be in position to milk and also make daily income from sales of milk that will be arrived at everyday. I also choose to go in for onions cultivation project which will cost me USD394 right from hiring land, seeds, pesticides, labor and other things required to a good harvest so that I can make good sales to raise money for care and meeting school requirements for my children in agood school to enable them perform well. Since my children are living bad life, I plan to buy them mattresses, school uniform, clothes, shoes, beds and blankets which will cost USD184. I also plan to use the balance of USD736 to start up a simple retail shop which will help me earn some money for meeting basic needs and making savings for handling emergencies and more investments when money accumulates."

"So far, the biggest difference in my daily life has been the addition of a lactating cow to our assets after spending $350 from the first transfer to purchase. Buying milk is no longer an issue because we hope to breed it next season after weaning. We continue to receive at least two liters per day, which would have cost us $2 per day. We haven't raised our debt ceiling as much because we have been able to pay for any item we want from the store with the money we have been saving."

"I have been running a hair salon in a nearby shopping center, while my husband owns a restaurant in a nearby town. Even though the burden of obligations would always overwhelm us, we are always motivated to leave the house every morning and return home with at least some daily earnings. We intended to invest in assets, but the small amount we were getting from the businesses was barely enough to cover household bills and clothing for my family of six. On receiving the first transfer, we bought two heifers at $230 to add to the lactating cow that we already had. Unfortunately, the lactating cow and one of the heifers died of varying severity, leaving us with only one. It was a heartbreaking moment for my family, and we considered it a loss because we had high hopes of breeding them. My husband also agreed to invest $200 in my salon business, allowing me to purchase a shaving machine and restock some hair pieces for sale. I am pleased that the business is doing well and attracting more customers than in previous months. In addition, I spent the remaining $100 on groceries and clothing for my entire family of six."
