"Currently, I do not have new goals. I want to continue providing a good education for my grandchild."

"I desire to educate my nine children so that they can get jobs and take care of me in future. Besides, they will also be able to live a descent life free from poverty. I can only achieve this dream if I have a stable source of income. Therefore, I will use this transfer to start a grocery business, and also purchase oxen that I will use to scale up farming and hire them at a fee. This will mean curbing food shortage and generating income to finance their education."

"My husband died over twenty years ago and left me with three children. I was later inherited by his brother whom we sired another 3 children together, but the marriage did not work and I had to raise them singlehandedly. Being a widow who depends solely on subsistence farming and casual jobs, I could not meet their needs with ease. In fact none of the first five children managed to complete primary education due to lack of school fees. My desire is to educate my last born son who is currently in standard eight, up to college so that he can secure formal employment. This will enable him to fend for himself without much difficulty and also take care of me in my old age. Therefore, I will purchase livestock which I will use to finance his education in secondary and tertiary levels. I can say that receiving this transfer means that generational poverty will come to an end in this family."

"My son is pursuing a diploma in Education but the college was demanding ugx 1000000 for his tuition which I paid using the cash transfer. I bought household items like mattresses and a black all at ugx 290000. I also used ugx 142000 for buying food and the remaining ugx 200000 I saved it for weeding my crops when the farming season kick starts."

"I have bought a cow. owning this dairy cow is a lot of joy to me because it will give a secure me an income. I will be using this to pay for my child school fees who is in a boarding primary school. I would not have afforded this school if it was not for GiveDIrectly. I am so happy that my child is also attending a school that offers high quality education."

"My life is currently different because I have acquired farm land that will help me have extensive commercial and subsistance farming. This kind of farming will enable me to sell off some food stuffs and meet some family needs such as education for my children and feeding my family. Before aquirng this land, famine was inevitable as food production was very low. I had only one garden that I used to leave and farm on. Hence, making life very difficult."

"My life is different in that I have managed to build my permanent house that I will move in and it will shield me from the rain unlike the one I am using at the moment that leaks. Completing to build my commercial house as well will help me develop greatly. Unlike before when earning money was a problem where I could work in other people's gardens, this house will help because I will rent it off and generate income that I will use for other needs like hiring more farm lands for extensive food production, education for children, feeding among others."

"GiveDirectly in my opinion has done well by giving money that is unconditional. This has helped me handle most of my financial needs like education of my children, and having a reliable income through the motorcycle that my cowife and I bought for our husband. However looking through it all, GiveDirectly has nothing bad it has done."

"I felt so happy when I received my first transfer because I did not have any avenues of getting money money to enroll my child to secondary education. In addition to that, My dream of constructing a Iron roofed house will come to fulfillment because the money will help me in purchasing building materials and pay labor."

"Growing up, I was denied the right to education, a decision that led to a series of bad choices that ended my dream of becoming a teacher. My greatest desire therefore is to ensure my children get access to quality education and be able to achieve their dreams. I plan to complete my tailoring course, buy a sewing machine and start working. I will also buy fabrics that I can sell to supplement my income. I will purchase livestock too which I can resale later as they keep growing in number to make sure my children stay in school. "
