"My desire is to ensure my children are well educated and in a position to help themselves financially. With this in mind, I plan to spend most of my transfers in paying college fees for my daughter who is specializing in Early Childhood Education and fees for my other daughter in secondary school. With the remaining part, I will set up a shop within my neighborhood because there is none as at now. Having worked in a shop previously for a year, am fully equipped with the skills required to succeed in this business. This will assist me in catering for other needs in the family such as food and water."

"Receiving this money means a lot to me. I will marry a wife since currently I'm single. It is difficult to live a sinlge life as you are forced to do all household activities like washing, fetching water, etc. The balance of the money will be used for hiring the gardens for farming. With many gardens, one can engage in commercial farming which can add money to the family."

"I purchased a water drum worth UGX 60000 and iron sheets worth UGX 280000 and cement worth UGX 54000 and nails worth UGX 220000. I bought timber worth UGX 236000 and I spent UGX 250000 on labour. I purchased bricks worth UGX 600000."

"My life is better now because I have bought materials which I am going to use for constructing an iron roofed house. I have acquired a bicycle which has eased movement for family members and for carrying water. Before I got this money I could go to fetch water on foot and carry the jerrycan on my head which was not easy because all the weight was on me."

"I spent the cash on a number of items which included buying a new mattress and a new bed which my wife and I have since then been using to enjoy our nights. I also had the opportunity to pay the dowry to my in-laws, something that I have always wanted to do without much success. Whatever remained after the expenditures went into the purchase of food and water for the daily use by the community members."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that, I acquired a bicycle that has eased my transportation and I have purchased most of the household items(utensils, water drum, mattress, bed sheets and clothes) that were lacking in my home. Furthermore, I bought 2 cows that will help with my children's education. Prior to receiving this transfer, I didn't have a bicycle and transporting agricultural produce from the farm was a great challenge"

"We currently live in a very arid area where there is very little rainfall, so the first thing I thought of was to get enough food for the kids that could last for some time going into the unforeseeable future. I also spent around Kes 10000 buying new clothing for all the family members because according to me, the clothes we had by then had become old mostly due to wear and tear. Apart from that, I bought two goats which will act as some sort of financial savings going into the future. Finally, I spent a significant amount of that money on buying water given that getting water in this area has always been a challenge."

"My dream is to start a business of supplying cooking oil in my area. This is because I have noticed quite a rise in numbers of women who engage in catering business. With this I will earn some income and cater for my basic needs of food and water with much ease. Lastly, I plan to buy indigenous goats that will act as a buffer whenever I need financial resources. I opted for goats because they are drought resistant and more marketable compared to cows."

"Receiving this money will enable me buy three calves that will act as savings to be sold anytime whenever i need schoolfees for my children. I also intend to build an iron roofed kitchen since the one we have is grass thatched and leaks in water whenever it rains"

"My new goal in the next four months is to buy household items such as a water tank and four plastic chairs. This is because I would not want to go through the struggles I have been going through during dry seasons because of lack of water."
