"I received the cash transfer news from my daughter inlaw the next day. I was very happy and excited when I heard that I had received UGX 1730250 from GiveDirectly."

"The biggest impact is that I am overjoyed that GiveDirectly chose to send me the cash transfers at my advanced age. My joy lies in the fact that I will be in position to construct a commercial house which will earn me income."

"The most evident impact is that we repossessed our farm land after repaying the loan. More so, we acquired household items that we could not afford before."

"I received a mobile money message at night. I was over the moon when I read it."

"I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I would have saved enough in the merry go round group to buy more goats so that in case of an emergency I will send to them to cover the same."

"My expectation in the next six months is to have saved some good amount of money for my school fees and hopefully, I would have enrolled and continue with schooling. This will be a step towards achieving my life's dream of going to college so that I can later have a good and fulfilling life ahead."

"I was too excited when I received the money in my phone. It was going to enable me conatruct a better house."

"My daily life is different in that I feed on a balance diet. In the past, I could sleep hungry somedays since my spouse couldn't provide for lack of money."

"My expectation in the next six months is to have bought some sheep for rearing. Now that I spend more time working on my farm, I will have ample time to look after them and apart from this, sheep is easy to rear and less labor intensive. My plan is that once the sheep reproduces into a good number, I can sell some and probably buy a cow."

"My life is different now because I have a lighting system in form of a solar which lights the house bright. In addition to that, I'm happy for having secured building materials for a commercial house. Finally, though I haven't completed my pit latrine but at least in the near future it will be done and I will no longer have to depend on my neighbour's latrines."
