"In the next six months of my life, I expect to have raised enough money to clear the school fee that I currently owe the school so that I can be given my certificate. After that, I'll then start looking for ways of joining college."

"Currently, my main goal is to ensure that I have completed the house that I recently constructed and furnished it fully. In the next six months, I expect to have raised enough money to achieve all these."

"My life has improved because I have secured some farm land and purchased oxen to facilitate ploughing. I have cultivated my crops with hope of getting food come harvest season. Before I got the transfer I used to hire oxen and it was very expensive for me."

"My life is good now because I opened a barbershop which generates income for my family. In this business, I am able to generate a minimum of UGX 10,000 and a maximum of UGX 40,000 in a day. I spend this income to facilitate agriculture, save and for setting off emergencies like sickness. I thank GiveDirectly for the transfers."

"The biggest difference in my life is that my children are now looking good in their new school uniform which I managed to buy for them after I received the transfer. The previous ones were ugly with patches all over. I used to feel embarrassed but there was nothing I could do. I couldn't afford to buy them new ones because I am the only breadwinner in the family. My husband left us with my four children and went to marry another wife. I don't have a stable job and buying a school uniform was the least among the priorities I had. Thankyou Givedirectly for bringing this change in my life."

"The biggest difference in my life is that I now have a kitchen. Kitchens are very essential in a village and they serve several purposes. One can use them as a grocery store or a sleeping area for children or visitors. I was glad to build one since we now do not have to worry about how we will cook during the rainy season. The previous structure used to leak and we were at times forced not to cook during such seasons."

"In the next 2 days my life will change because I will be sleeping in my permanent house. Currently, I'm still occupying my leaking thatched house."

"My life has changed because through these cash transfer, I have built commercial house which is now at finishing level. This will generate for me income to pay schools for my six children. Previously, I had nothing which could generate income for my family. Thanks to GiveDirectly for enabling me achieve my dream."

"Although I have not yet started building my commercial house, I see a great change in my life as I will be having a reliable source of income when I start renting it off. This will help me to supplement my existing restaurant income to see to it that my children get a better life, and education. In addition to this, my life has changed in that I was able to renovate my already existing house. It now looks very beautiful. Before, the house was very unpleasant as it was not plastered, cemented, had no windows and no proper door."

"My life is different now in that I was able to build a house that together with my children, we shall have a safe and spacious place to stay. Despite the fact that I am still staying in my grass thatched house that leaks and conjested, I am a happy that soon my permanent house will be completed. "
