"My life has changed in that, I have acquired new clothes and a mattress that have made me very happy because previously I had very few clothes and an old mattress that was uncomfortable to sleep on. Secondly, I am very hopeful to go back to school because I have saved a large portion of my transfer for under taking a course of my chioce next year's in take. Before receiving this transfer, I had completed the my Uganda Certificate of Education (UCE) around 2017 but I had lacked funds to proceed with my education."

"My primary 6 daughter had our neighbours ululaleting at around 6:00 AM and she came to me asking for my phone, after her cross checking she informed me that I had got my money too. I was very happy to have received the money because I knew it was going to help me with my son's education."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that, I was in position to pay my children's fees at once and they were enable to report to school in time unlike before when I paid their fees in instalments and they used to report to school late because the money was not readily available. In addition, I have stocked 3 bags of ground nuts that I plan to sell once its price goes up to enable me raise my children's school fees."

"I had no hope of recovering my piece of land from the money lender previously because I didn't have enough money even to pay half of the debt. When I got this money from GiveDirectly, I was in position to pay the money lender and I have got back my piece of land. I now expect increased food production from this piece of land which will save me from food shortage. Furthermore, I have saved part of my transfer to spend for constructing an iron roofed house around January after receiving the second transfer.The iron roofed house will relieve me from the burden of looking for grass for renovating my hut."

"Before receiving this transfer, my house was very dusty and the termites used to destroy household items even the two wooden doors had been eaten up because the house was not cemented. After getting my first transfer, I bought construction materials that were used to plaster the wall and cement the floor that the termites can't penetrate easily which has saved my household Items from demage. I have also managed to replace the wooden doors and windows I had with the metallic ones that are durable."

"I had my neighbours ululate at around at around 5:00 AM I was forced to go to my son's house to wake him up so that he cross checks with my phone. After him checking, he told me that I had too got my money, I joined my neighbours in the ululation and I was very happy because the money was going help me start with the process of making bricks."

"Before getting this transfer, I had a debt and the money lender had taken my pieces of land as security. When I received money from GiveDirectly, I was in position to off set the debt and I have repossessed my pieces of land from the money lender. I expect increased crop production come next year because of this additional piece of land which will help me settle my family demands with ease. In addition, I have acquired an ox that is going to help me with ploughing my farm land and at times when hired it will be a source of income for supporting my family."

"The moment I received the money I got excited and I joined the rest of the village members to ululate from 3:00 am to sun rise."

"The moment I received the transfer, I felt so happy together with my mother in law we laughed with a lot of joy in our hearts."

"I felt so happy on receiving the transfer. I was very excited that the money was unconditional. We celebrated the transfer by buying meat and rice to eat on that day."
