"That moment I received my money, I felt happy because this transfer will be of great use to our family. "

"This financial support has enabled me own cows, a mattress and a bed. This would not be possible if I had not recieved this transfer because my current situation(sickness), has disabled me and I can't do anywork for four years now."

"My transfer was sent when I had gone to Kampala to seek treatment. I became very happy at that moment because it came at a time when I needed it for settling the hospital bills."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that, I have a new matress, a bed, beddings and clothes. I am now having good night sleep because of the comfortable mattress and good beddings which has made me very happy. Before receiving this transfer, I didn't have enough money to purchase a new mattress since the money I was getting from the casual labour went on buying food."

"My life has improved because I was able to access proper treatment since I often suffer from ulcers. My health is now better. Previously, I had to depend a lot on my sister who could not also afford to buy for me the drugs that the doctors could prescribe. Secondly I have repossed my Agricultural land and I have built thatched house. In the past, I had no place to call home since I'm was just being taken care off by my sister at her martial home."

"My life has improved because I'm building my permanent house. I hope to complete it when I get my last transfer. I'm sure of sleeping in permanent house which I never thought of. Currently, I'm still sleeping in leaking thatched house with my children. When it rains heavily, I have to stay a wake in order to collect the dripping water so that it doesn't wet the mattress and bedding."

"The moment I received money from GiveDirectly, I felt very happy because I was going complete implementing the plans I had of expanding to build my permanent house."

"My life is currently different from the way it would have been had I not received the transfer in that if it wasn't for GD, I wouldn't be having any form of investment now. This is because I bought a farm of sugarcane which is ready for harvesting and I believe the money I'll get from selling the sugarcane will help me meet most of my needs without much struggles as before."

"My life is different from the way it would have been had I not received the transfer in that I'm now proud and happy I have made a great step in life. This is because I was able to purchase a piece of land which I will use in building my own house. This was the biggest problem I had because I could not buy land with my low income from casual work which could not even feed my family well. I am looking for money to buy building materials so that I can finally have my own home."

"Inadequate food is my biggest challenge. I can not afford four meals a day as it is supposed to be for a normal healthy life. This is because I stay with grand children that I can not support hence making it difficult to sustain the household."
