"I expect my life to change a lot because for one I have a plan of making sure that I fully venture into the small scale business sop that i can be able to get some little profit that can keep my family afloat as we move on into the unforeseeable future."

"The biggest hardship I face currently is lack of enough money for paying school fees. I have a son studying in Bukedea primary school bording section and this requires a lot of money ."

"I plan to spend this money on purchasing a piece of land. I currently do not land to cultivate and plant crops. "

"In the next six months, I expect to have built some savings which will help my son as he advances with his study. He is a bright boy who has restored more hope in me than the rest of his siblings. Through education, he will gain more knowledge and experts that will make him a successful man in the future."

"The biggest hardship I face currently is lack of money for providing basic needs to my spouse. "

"The biggest hardship I face currently is lack of enough food to feed my children."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is having enough food for my family. In the past, my family used to miss some meals in a day. This is due to the drought and certain diseases that attacked our maize plant. This caused us not to harvest any for some years now. We have been relying on buying maize since it is our staple food but due to my nature of work, I could not afford to buy enough. Thanks to GiveDirectly. The transfers enabled us to purchase some sacks of maize that can last us for some months. This has relieved me from doing a lot of casual jobs like before."

"In the next six months, I expect to renovate my house so that it can look more decent. I shall, therefore, prioritize saving my transfers and use them to buy bags of cement and sand for plastering its walls and its floor. Currently, the floor is made of earth and it occasionally generates specks of dust which is harmful to my life."

"I was woken up by a message notification on my phone early in the morning. Upon checking the notification, it was MPESA notifying me that I have received money from GiveDirectly. I was very happy to receive the money because I now knew that some of my dreams will be fulfilled."

"I expect to own a medium size and a decent kitchen. Currently, I do not have one and I have been cooking outside, in an open place. When my Kitchen will be built, I shall be a happy woman since this will restore my dignity in the village where I reside."
