"I just bought a motorcycle which will run in business very soon. So what this means for me is that I will be earning income on a daily basis to help me provide for my family. Poultry project is kicking off in the near future and in six month's time, I will be also earning from it. I thank GiveDirectly for being there to save our lives and that of our families from stress and difficulty in life."

"My life is diferent in that I was able to acquire some of my personal assets such as farm land and ox plough that will help to cultivate on a large scale. I already have the oxen. This large scale farming will help me sustain my family through feeding them and being able to educate them after I sell some produce. Prior to getting this transfer that has enabled me to get my assets, I had to hire farm land and an ox plough. This made my life a little challenging as meeting my family needs was next to impossible. At times I ended up tilling the land on my own and cultivating on a small piece of land as I could not raise money to hire the ox plough and farm. "

"My life is currently different in that in my old age, I have been in position to build a permanet house. This house will now relieve me from the issue of buying grass yearly to renovate my hut. Prior to building my iron roofed house, my wife and I were practically sharing the house with rats as they had infested the whole house. They had made holes in the ground and the roof. So when rains started, the whole house would leak and during the sunny season, the grass cuttings would fall from the roof. I am really grateful that I received money that helped me out of such a situation."

"My life has greatly changed in that I am now living a health and stress free life.This is because I managed to get money that I used to educate my orphaned grandchildren, buy a cow for my investment, get back my land and now, I will be plastering my house. Before getting this money, I would always be full of thoughts of where I could get money to help my orphaned grandchildren as they all looked up to me to continue financing their education. "

"Though my trustee (Son) used the first transfer for my treatment, my life is different now because I am in a position where I can fully engage in personal activities such as go to my farm land. My health and feeding has greatly improved. Before getting this transfer, I was in a very critical condition and all treatment that I was getting was not genuine since I kept falling sick. My life is as well different now because my trustee bought for me two cows that are a source of my personal investment. When these cows calve, I will be in position to sell of some and sell the milk to raise an income to help my family meet some needs such as feeding. This milk as well will play part in my nutrition as I will be taking it."

"Currently, my life has changed because I am able to have money at hand that I make through offering a service to my entire community using my grinding machine. This has helped me to meet most of my basic needs. Before getting this transfer to buy my machine, I used to just work in other people'sgardens to raise money to meet my personal needs. In addition to having my income generating activity, I am back in school which was my dream should I ever get money. This would have never happened and it would be a shattered dream since I had no where to get the money."

"I was woken up by a message notification and on checking the content of the message, it was from GiveDirectly informing me that I had received the transfer that they had promised us. I was filled with happiness at that instant and I am always thankful to GiveDirectly for the financial assistance."

" My health has improved now because I feed twice or thrice a day. I was able to stock some food in the house. I now sleep and dress well becuase I spent the transfer on acquiring mattress and clothes. I'm also constructing another home in the near by village since here where I live we have some land wranglles. Prior to getting this money, I used to sleep on a very old mattress and dressed on rags which is no longer the case nowadays. In addition to that my current house is dilapidated and anytime It can collapse."

"My life is better now than I would have been had I not received the transfer because it was through this money I was able to complete my house that I have rented out one side and therefore I earn in region of ugx 40000 monthly. These monthly collections have helped me cater for the wellbeing of my family in terms of buying domestic goods like food, clothes, medical among others. In addition to that, I live a happy life because I have money most of the time that I collect from rent. Prior to getting money, we depended on our small shop which could not meet all the demands in my household and it almost collapsed. I'm so grateful and would like to extend my gratitude to the philanthropic world for the amazing support rendered to me."

"I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I will have saved some of the transfer to buy a heifer. This will be my happiness because I admire to own one soon."
