"I bought some material for the house even thinking of established a new business to help me and my family. Because I know very well that this programs will not be forever so i need to help me and my family for tomorrow. I'm going to put this money in to good use by building a house for my children. I bought all my children schools material and paid their school fees. I bought some food for the house and i even bought some more zinc to add on the some that i get from the first money."

"When i received my second transfer,I'm now decided to finish my house and focus on my business so that if this programs is over i can not find it very difficult in getting food for my family. Life wasn't really good with me and my family, but with the help of GiveDirectly I'm now able to doing a new business. My children schools feel are now paid and they all are in schools now. I'm awaiting my next transfer to come so that i can improving my business."

""Yes, before I never had plan to build house because I never had money to do so.My new goal after receiving my first money is to build a new house.I don't have any sleeping place. I'm living in a family house but soon my dream will come to reality with the help of GiveDirectly."

"I bought one bundle of zinc, some food and also paid my children school fees and bought them their school materials.I also heir some workers to cut my sticks for my house project. I want to start building the house as soon as possible. It's a joy for me to see my dream coming true. It has been a challenge to get my children school fees. Living in someone's house without money is something very embarrassing. I am so glad that i will be completing my project with the help of GiveDirectly cash transfer."

"Yes! In the past, I had no plans of building a house. However, I now have a new goal.With the help of this money, I'm going to build a new house and give my children the best education for the future. GiveDirectly have made everything simple for me by the help of God. The conditions of my house has been so deplorable. It's a shame to live life in that condition. Currently, I now have a new goal to build me a new house. This hope of having a better house brings me joy daily."

"I was out of James town community when one of my friends called and told me that Givedirectly just sent her transfer. I rushed quickly back to James town and asked my brother to help check my phone . When my transfer was comfrmed, I jumped high in the sky and started dancing. Within that movement, I started reflecting on how difficult my life has been and with tears of joy, I started shouting. Givedirectly thank you for my transfer.My house broke down some years back and I have been living in my son house. My dream has been to rebuild my house that got broken .It has been shameful to see woman of my age struggling for sleeping place. I have been involved in to hard labor just to rebuild my house but it wasn't possible because of poverty . I believed that with receiving Givedirectly transfers, I will be able to rebuild my house."

"The biggest difference the transfer made in my daily life are , I can now cook rich food for my family to eat. I don't have no more worry about how to pay balance credit I owned for land space in Buchanan. My husband and I sleep sound in the morning. My husband has grown fat because he is not over using himself over motorbike to generate money to paid back debt owned . I believe that Givedirectly transfer, our worry will soon be over."

"In my opinion, GiveDirectly is actually doing well .Most of us never knew how to use cell phones and we were all blind to mobile money transaction . Through Givedirectly support , we are now knowledgeable about the usage of phones and more recipients are using their transfers to own properties in this Village. For improvement, Givedirectly needs to put in mechanism where recipients will not have to go through lot of stress like for example, Paying heavy transportation before cashing out their transfers."

"I have planned to use my first transfer on starting a new business and improving my house. I have been selling for my friend and he pays me 3000 per month that which is insufficient for my family up keep. When I start my own business, I will be able to raise my own profit that will enable me sufficiently feed my family and provide their needs. I will also improve my house that I build in 2017, but I couldn't complete it because of financial constraints. My family will have a decent place to live and get good food. I appreciate GiveDirectly for this great help."

"The biggest difference in my life now is I feel every happy daily that my life has started to change. The plan that I have to buy motorbike that could take me more then two years is about to be accomplished in two months. My business will grow because I will not have to spend more money on transportation once I buy my own motorbike. The motorbike will also raise money for me when it is on traffic. When I think on all of these things and see my frist transfer in my phone as evidence, I can't stop being happy daily."
