"My life has taken a different trajectory because I had no financial ability to launch this project which I have always wanted to pursue for a long time but then due to the cash transfers, I was able to realize my dream. My kids are also able to go to school without facing constant interruptions due to lack of payment of their school fees arrears. Initially, I used to work as a casual laborer and at times I used to sell charcoal in order to raise money for their school fees which was quite a cumbersome routine."

"My life is different because currently, I have this motorbike which generates money for the family. I also have a plan of starting a business which will also be generating more money for the family. The profits generated will go a long way in helping us meet some of the family's financial needs such as paying school fees for the kids."

"I have used my second transfer for completing the payment of a plot of land, buying a mattress, a water pipe, food and paying my children's school fees."

"I spent the second cash transfer to purchase iron sheets and nails worth UGX 1000000. I bought cement worth UGX 138000 and sand worth UGX 80000. I paid school fees worth UGX 150000. The balance I plan to spend it on paying the builders."

"Currently, my children and I can now dress well as we can be able to buy clothes and shoes to look presentable., I can also eat healthy meals each day as we do shopping for a month and the money that I earn from other sources can be used on projects that help in changing our lifestyle. I can also be able to pay school fees for my children who hardly stay at home for more than a day waiting for me to raise their school fees from doing casual work."

"My life has tremendously improved in that, I paid my grandchild's tuition and bought a cow. Previously, I used to sell food in order to raise money for school fees of which food was also in scarcity. But with the cow I bought, I'm confident that I can sell it's products and or even the offspring to raise the money I need."

"I spent my first transfer for buying 3 trips of bricks, 3 of sand, 11 bags of cement and 8 ventilators . I bought a goat, food, paid the builder UGX 150,000 and school fees of UGX 430,000. I bought shoes, clothes, bed sheets for my self and the children. I used some money for ploughing."

"I used KES 30000 to buy a dairy cow and used the remaining amount to buy other basic household needs including furniture. I also used KES 8000 to improve my egg selling business. I took it as an initiative to use my first transfer to buy a dairy cow since I did not own one then. I am optimistic that this cow and other investments like my egg selling business shall help me in future to even pay school fees for my children as well as meet other basic households needs. Nothing is as fulfilling for a parent as being able to meet most some of the basic household needs of the family."

"Two of my children are in standard eight and about to sit for their national examination in about three months time. Since they'll be transitioning to secondary school next year I ought to make an investment that will cater for their school fees. This is why I will use part of the first transfer to purchase a dairy cow whose milk i will sell to make savings for their education. Both of them are grown ups and have been spending their nights at my brother's house. I am going to spend remaining part of the transfer to build them their own house so as to accord them dignity they deserve. "

"Paying school fees for my children is my biggest hardship. I have one children in secondary education and two are in boarding primary education which is quite expensive to maitain. Our economic livilihood has been affected by the thieves and it's a bit of challenge now to sustain these children at school. "
