"My new goal in the next four months is to establish my home and pay school fees for my son who had depended on fundraising."

"Before, I did not have anything to call my own since we used to live from hand to mouth; I could not save anything from the meagre earnings that I got from working as a casual laborer. Right now, I rear my own chicken and I am able to pay school fees without so much struggle unlike before where my children would be sent from school fees."

"My life is different than it would have been if I would have not received the transfer from GiveDirectly in that I have used the transfer to cement my houses, seek for proper medication for my wife who had been unwell for a while as well as paying school fees for my children in secondary school. I would have not been able to do all these without GiveDirectly's transfers."

"I spent my second transfer to buy building soil as well as hiring casual laborers to build for me a new house because my initial house was small, shaky and unsuitable for habitation. Every now and then, I was always afraid that it would fall on me and my grandchildren. In addition, I spent the rest of my second transfer on paying school fees for my grandchildren to help them acquire right education that would help them secure a better and promising future. Lastly, I bought a cow from which I hope obtain milk for my domestic use since milk is a precious food to me."

"The biggest hardship I have faced is lack of enough money to take care of my family like providing basic needs eg school fees, food, medical care etc."

"My life currently different from how it was four months ago in that I'm able to meet the basic needs of the family because of constant income from the sales of eggs, which was hard before. I can also pay school fees from my savings."

"This money shall enable me to pay school fees and providing basic needs for my children studying in Zula primary school. "

"Receiving this money means to use for educating my children. The transfers will enable me pay school fees for my children studying in Bukedea secondary school and Grace high school."

"I am usually stressed up on where to get money to pay school fees for my children when the schools open. This changed from the time I received my first transfers as I am always happy since my children are now in school and I know that they will not be sent back home to fetch school fees as I was able to clear this terms fees for them. Whenever I remember this, I always smile to myself and ask God to continue blessing where it came from so so that other people may also get an aid from them. So far, this is the biggest difference in my daily life."

"Before GiveDirectly came to my village, I had bought a motorcycle though I was not in possession of it since I had not finished paying for it. Since I was able to clear the remaining balance using my transfers, my daily life has really changed as I now operate it and at the end of the day, I am able to save some money after buying our daily needs something I had never achieved before. With this, I know that paying my childrens school fees will no longer be a hard task to me all thanks to GD."
