"The biggest difference in my daily life is sleeping well with a mattress unlike before where I used a mat. In addition, there's better lighting at night due to a solar acquired, making you feel like you're in town."

"That moment I received my money, I was so thankful to God for bringing GiveDirectly to us. Otherwise, no person would have given such an amount of money to any one in the village."

"My daily life is now different in that there's improved dressing and feeding at home. I am also a happy to see that my children are settled at school."

"The biggest difference in daily life is that I have acquired a bull, plastered my house. This was the most important thing to me and I am happy. "

"In the next six months, I want to ensure I pay my school fees on time. I would want to make use of the opportunity given to me by GD to better my life. I will channel most of my transfers in school so that I can do well and get a good job to support my family."

"I felt very happy to the extent that I ululated because I got money for buying building materials to plaster my incomplete permanent house and pay school fees for my children."

"I have been in position to purchase bricks, that I intend to use for constructing an iron roofed house. I didn't hope of buying these bricks previously because I had no stable source of income. In addition, I have acquired a new mattress and a bed. Before receiving this transfer, I had only one mattress that often forced me to sleep on a mat whenever a visitor comes to sleep over."

"My daily life is different in various ways, First and foremost I can afford to buy food for my family not like before where I could take a long time without seeing a mere ugx 50 shillings. In addition, I'm so glad that I have managed to acquire oxen for ploughing which has simplified cultivation. Prior to buying these bulls, I could hire labour which strained me a lot financially because I could pay for labour, feed and add ons for appreciation."

"I have a plan to purchase a piece of land once I receive my second transfer. If I succeed in purchasing a piece of land, I expect my yield production to increase. Prior to receiving this transfer, I didn't have hope to purchase additional piece of land given the increased cost of land."

"The moment I received this money, I thanked God for having brought GD to deliver me from harsh conditions I lived in. I was so joyous to the extent that I could not hide my happiness but kept on Jubilating."
