"I spent my first transfer to buy a plot of land at Ugx 1000000. I bought some household items such as a mattress, bed sheets, and utensils. I then bought some livestock (2 goats, 4 chicken)using the balance of my money."

"I had plans of constructing a new iron roofed house with the transfers because I had a thatched house that I wanted to change, but due to my father's death, I had to abort this plan because my entire first transfer was spent of his funeral arrangements.I then came up with the idea of investing part of my second transfer in poultry farming so that would save enough money to eventually allow me meet my dream of constructing an iron-roofed house.I have bought some chickens to start off the project and will work on improving it."

"I spent the first cash transfer to pay a loan worth UGX 1000000 and I purchased a cow worth UGX 450000 and household items ( sauce pans,utensils) worth UGX 70000. I bought four chickens worth UGX 55000. I gave my spouse UGX 100000 to shop for clothes. The balance will be spent on food."

"My additional goal is to add more chicken to which I currently have so that have chicks and start laying eggs I would sell and spent the money to buy some sheep. I had bought some which I lost when I lost to the disease. Now I have learnt how to take care of them I am planning to keep some so that I would resell and buy a dairy cow."

"Being a house wife means I depend solely on my husband for upkeep. He supports the family with around 3000 shillings a month. This amount is supposed to cater for food, medical, clothing and educational needs. It is quite impossible to meet all of them because food and education consume almost 75% of the amount. I have always desired to set up a business to supplement our family income. I this regard, I will use part of the transfer to start a chicken business in Bamba market. This project will save me the fulltime dependence on my spouse. Besides, I will start a goat rearing project that will help me during financial emergencies."

"At the moment, I believe that my daily life is soon going to change. This is because I have been able to purchase some of the building materials and I am planning to use my next transfer to start the work of building a permanent house for my family. Also, I am planning to start a poultry keeping project where I will be keeping majorly improved Kienyeji chicken after starting a business of buying and selling milk. I will be using the income from this project to cater for my family needs. Being able to diversify my sources of income will enable me to always meet our daily needs on time."

"The poultry project I started with part of my transfer has brought a lot of financial changes in my life. Since I only depended on income from casual work, I was not able to provide for my family well. The income was not much and very inconsistent. As a result, I would have to borrow to ensure I meet all my needs. I did not have much in life. This is why I needed an income-generating activity to help me boost my income. My needs were rising on a daily basis but the income was not growing at all. When GD sent me the transfers, I used it to buy chic for starting a poultry project. I am glad it is doing well and as a result, I get money from the sale of chicken and eggs. Through the income, I am able to handle financial difficulties easily because of |I do not go borrowing and begging to meet my family needs. GD has taken away my shame."

"I invested a better part of my second transfer on poultry farming through constructing a chicken cope and stocked 50 chickens. Today, I am able to supply chickens to different people around my area which means I have a stable source of income. I also bought my livestock feeds and medicine. The remaining amount was majorly spent on buying my household expenditures."

"With the help of the transfers I received, I was able to improve the once small poutry project I had into an income-generating activity that now supports me financially. I am now able to supply chickens to different people and hotels around my area and can proudly say that I have a stable source of income. I also managed to fence my compound entirely which has improved our security as a family but most of all kept my poultry away from the hungry mouths of wild cats that prevented the poultry project from growing before. Al laf these could not have been possible if I had been lucky enough to benefit from the project and all I have is plenty of the thanks to Give Directly."

"I am a poultry farmer of 100 chicken. Accordingly I am planning to spend the first transfer to buy a chain-link to fence the compound so as to practice free range farming. My poultry will have access to more natural food for increased production. Over and above there will be no more destruction of my neighbor's vegetable farm as they formerly did when my chicken roamed freely."
