"My life is currently different from how it was four months ago in that, I was able to buy seats and other household items. Previously, I had no seats at all and other important items like a mattress. Now that I managed to buy them, Gd has saved me from the shame of borrowing seats and sleeping on a mat. I have also managed to build an iron-roofed house and no longer sleep in the kitchen."

"The moment I received my cash transfer, I felt happy because I had started construction of my nursery school, the wall was at roofing level but I had lacked money to complete it to enable the learners study in a conducive environment."

"Currently, we are doing great farming and God's willing we would start constructing a new house in our family. We are planning to construct a new house with around 30 iron sheets now that the one we are currently living in is getting old and leaking on the roof. we have been saving part of the transfers so that we can start buying materials. We have already bought sixteen iron sheets and every month we expect to be adding some before we start the construction."

"The biggest in my daily life is that I now have a new house. I recently completed building a house. We jointly put the money together with my sons and bought roofing sheets. I want us to live in a nice home where my sons will be proud even to bring their friends. I will be confident to host their fiancees unlike before when the state of our homestead was shaming. I was living in a house that was grass thatched and leaking. It was in a destitute state. I am happy to have a beautiful house."

"The biggest difference in my life since I received this transfer is that I have an iron-roofed house. Before the transfer, I used to live a grass-thatched house with leaking and was too small for my family. During the rainy seasons, I used to send my children to my neighbour's house because we could not manage to sleep in the same house. My wife and I would hardly sleep at such nights. We would keep moving from one corner to other looking for where the roof does not leak. When I received this transfer, I saw a new house in my life. This is a dream come true in my life because of GD."

"In my opinion, givedirectly has done well uplifting people's livelihoods by giving them money which has enable them to build iron sheet roofed houses, buy household items, livestock; and there's nothing it hasn't done well. "

"When I received my token transfer, I reflected to my standards of living how my children sleep on mats and mosquito net as their mattresses. My children could complain about bed sores every morning they wake up. I decided to buy household items i.e mattress, bed and clothes that took ugx 750000. I having been suffering with a challenge of grass for thatching the house and when I got this transfer I planned on constructing a iron roofed house and I first bought construction materials namely, Bricks, cement and iron sheets at ugx 980000 and when I receive my last transfer I start the construction immediately. I also saved ugx 100000 with my mother in a form of a loan which will pay back. I got for my child an admission to school which I paid ugx 20000. Feeding was a challenge too in my household and I used ugx 210000."

"Receiving this money means I will be able to provide quality education for my daughter who just joined form one this year. I feel that she is my light at the end of the tunnel. When she finishes school and gets employment, she will be able to take care of me in my old age. Secondly, I plan to finish roofing my house because its open on side and rain pours directly into the house. Thirdly, I would like to buy goats because they are easier to rear compared to cows and finally, I will buy oxen and an ox plough to aid me in farming so I can get more produce."

"My life is different in that I was able to build an iron roofed house. Secondly we acquired a motorbike that is earning us income. We are happy because the cash transfers helped us alot in buying food for the family and buying household items that we never had before. This could have not happened had I not received the cash transfers."

"My life is different than it would have been because I am very happy not to roam in bushes looking for roofing grass again after building my iron sheet roofed house. "
