I also bought food at 20,000ugx, a solar and a battery at 140,000ugx, clothes at 186,000ugx. My husband visited my parents and gave them 400,000ugx.

"I felt very good because I have always wanted to plant sugarcane in large scale but due to my low income, I have not been to. Give Directly has made away for me." (Occupation: Small business)

"The moment I received cash from GD, I felt so relieved as the money would help me to buy food for my family. I would only depend on charcoal for living and couldn't stop tahnking God for GD for the money." (Occupation: Small business)

"My life is different from how it would have been since I now have a running business which I wouldn't have started were it not for the money. I have also managed to pay school fees for my son and he is now studying well."

"I hope that we will be able to save enough money by then as a family to start a business for my wife who is a housewife at the moment so that she can also contribute to the family budget. This will reduce the strain on my side and my children will well be taken care of."

"At the moment I do not have an additional goal but to ensure that the business grows bigger."
