"Receiving this money makes me so happy. I will use it to buy a generator that will help me pump water to my farm where I majorly grow tomatoes. "

"Receiving this cash transfer means that I'll be able to buy a dairy cattle and a water tank- to store water since it is a very rare commodity in this area. This will enable me practice irrigation farming. Thank you so much GD. "

"The biggest difference in my daily life is the water tank that I bought I feel happy since I know that very soon the water problem that I have been facing will be over."

"I spent part of the second transfer that GiveDirectly sent me on agriculture. I planted tomatoes for sale. I bought seeds and paid labor & water for irrigation. The crops have now sprouted and I am hopeful for a good harvest in three months and an income thereafter. I have saved some cash too, so as to buy furniture and windows for the house we built prior to GD, but had not finished it due to lack of funds."

"The biggest difference in my daily is that l have manage to buy furniture that l did not have since l was just sitting on a water container."

"I have always believed in farming and I have always had dreams of how I can improve my life through farming but because I had very low income so this has not been effective in my life. When I received this transfer, I was able to buy water pump and fertilizer which has really improved my farming practise and I know I will finally achieve my dreams."

"I spent my second transfer to buy cement at 450,000ugx, Sand at 130,000ugx, lahim at 40,000ugx,saucepans at 170,000ugx, water pier at 30,000ugx, a backet at 30,000ugx, two basins at 30,000ugx, Clothes at 54,000ugx,Food(beans and posho) at 24,000ugx and savings at 715,000ugx"

"My life is currently different because we have a new house and a cow courtesy of GiveDirectly. We did not have these prior to GD, now we do and we are grateful. There are numerous GiveDirectly cows in our village. Almost every homestead has a cow because they bought cows using their funds from GD. Cows lately fill rivers in our village when people take them for watering. Initially they were countable."

"The happiest part of my day is in the morning. This is the time i go to the river to fetch water and in the process, meeting with my neighbours and chatting with them on my way makes me happy."

"I spent my first transfer for purchasing bricks at 1,125,000 ugx, sand at 100,000 ugx, 3 bags of cement, a mattress at 110,000 ugx and water drum at 50,000 ugx. I have not yet spent 229,000 ugx but am planning to spend on buying iron sheets."
