"Receiving this money means that I will be able to buy a piece of land for cultivation and buy a cow so that I can have milk. "

"When I receive this money, I will buy cows that will help in Agriculture and also to rent land for growing crops."

"My life is different in that, GiveDirectly's cash transfers have helped me boost my business. I was able to restock items that were finished in my shop and business is now booming since I have everything I needed in my shop. I have also managed to hire farm land which I'm now Farming on. These transfers also helped me clear my school fees debt enabling me pick my senior six certificate. Lastly, I was able to acquire a cow which I was unable to buy before receiving cash from GiveDirectly. Prior to receiving these money, the school I studied from withheld my certificate because I did not clear all my fees. My business had collapsed because I lacked money for restocking but thanks to GiveDirectly for the financial support."

"The cash transfers have changed my life in that they empowered me to purchase cows and household items like bedding,utensils,clothes that I had longed to own for a long time. I also helped my parents to clear their outstanding debts. However, I am now focussed on working hard so that I can find a wife to marry. Before I received the cash transfers, life was hard and I had nothing presentable in my house. I was always dressed in old tattered clothes. I am now happy because I can now walk confidently in nice decent clothes."

"I bought a cow with part of my second cash transfer. Then part of the cash transfer was spent on my medical treatment. I have the balance of UGX 600,000 that I plan to spend on buying food since I am old now. "

"I used my second transfer to buy a dairy cow. This will provide enough milk for my family in future. I have been buying milk for many years and this was costly since I depend on the little money I get as a Patent Teachers Association (PTA) teacher. Owning this cow will bring to an end the struggles I have been going through and I will be able to save the money that I would have used to buy milk and use to pay school fees for my children. I also bought two bags of maize since I did not have enough food for my family and I have been buying maize flour daily and this was expensive. I also used the remaining amount to pay school fees for my child in boarding primary school since I had not cleared the arrears for the previous term."

"I used my second transfer to build a new kitchen. I was living in a small grass-thatched kitchen and it was also leaking during the rainy season. I also bought a dairy cow since I have been struggling for many years to buy milk for my family and this was costly since I earn little money from casual jobs. At times my family could take black tea when I did not get money to buy milk and used to worry me a lot. I am now happy since I have enough milk for my family. I also bought hybrid maize seeds since I have never planted quality seeds because I could afford. This will thus ensure enough food for my family in the next harvest season."

"My life has improved because I'm in the process of completing to build my permanent house which I will just mop the floor. Before, I had agrass thatched hut which required me to use cow dung for cleaning the floor."

"My life has changed because I have acquired cows for milk production. Before, I never took milk tea. In addition, I sleep well because I bought a mattress and a blanket . In the past, I slept on a mat and covered myself with only a bedsheet which was very light."

"My life is different in many ways now than It would have been at the event that I had not received the transfers. The total number of assets that I own has greatly increased since I received these transfers. I now have a dairy cow and a family house. These are things I never thought I could own them anytime soon. The small amounts of money that I got from my daily casual jobs could only get enough for me to feed the family."
