"I spent the second cash transfer to purchase household items such as a table,chairs, a mattress,curtains, clothes and water tank. I purchased one door, window and 2 bags of cement and paid the builders too. I also bought school uniforms."

"My life has transformed in a way because I have been able to pay school fees for my son without struggling like I used to do. Apart from that, I would say that I am now able to pump water for my neighbors and be the main supplier at the village. I am planning to use the water to carry out agricultural activities and probably be able to make some money from being a large scale farmer."

"Currently, my life is different from how it was in that, I have my own business. I do not depend on casual jobs like selling water which was unreliable. I have learned to manage it in terms of the variety that the customer needs and how to lure them to buy the clothes which I sell. I can never compare it with the past casual jobs that I have ever done. I thank GiveDirectly very much because I can take care of my needs easily using the profits from the business unlike before."

"My life is currently different in that I am now equal in my living standards to some people I thought I would never be at bar with. I have been able to build a new spacious house and a kitchen. I have also been able to buy a dairy cow that will assist me a long way in meeting the basic household needs. Going to the river to fetch water is now a thing of the past after I was able to buy a water tank."

"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"
