"My life has improved in that, I live healthy and in better a house. In the past, I had no source of income given my age and therefore, I couldn't meet my basic needs."

"My life is now very different in that, we have set up two family businesses that are generating daily income. Previosuly, I was jobless together with my spouse with no stable source of income for meeting our family needs. In addition, I bought a cow and paid off the loans that made us regain possession of our two acres of land. Before, we had no land to cultivate since all the acres of land were in the hands of the creditors."

"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."

"I usually switch off my phone at night so that I sleep peacefully. When I switched it on one morning I got a call from my brother-in-law who informed me about the good news about the money which was sent by Give Directly. I decided to also check mine and I was shocked to find KES 55000 from Give Directly. I was so happy, I remember kneeling down and thanking God for bringing Give Directly to 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."
