"The biggest difference in my daily life is that the transfer has enabled me to purchase enough building materials which includes iron sheets and building poles and I am now in the process of constructing a new spacious house for my family. Building a new house has been my longtime goal. I always tried all I could to make this dream happen but due to my poor earnings, I could not have met my goal this soon. I feel happy that once this house is complete, then my children will no longer be seeking shelter from the neighbourhood."

"I expect a great change in my life in that my neighbors will be astonished of how I have bought more goats and chicken within the next six months. In order to have this stock in place, I will save most of the transfer in the merry go round. I will sell some in the future when they have matured and cater to my family's needs comfortably."

"My life will be different in the next months because I will be owning a dairy cow. This is a good investment because my monthly transfers will be saved. Owning livestock in my community is a great step that will help me have an added source of income when it will start producing milk both for my family consumption as well as for sale. Besides, the beans that I planted recently will have already been harvested and if the harvest turns out to be good, I will have surplus for sale and hence my raise my income"

"My life has changed because these cash transfers have made me acquire more farm land. This season I'm sure of good security because I have enough cultivated g-nuts and cassava. Previously, I faced a challenge of food shortage in my home because I had a small piece of land which could not allow me to farm in large quantities."

"My life is better because I'm sleeping well in a clean permanent house. I can also afford to change clothes.Prior to these transfers, I slept in dusty house because the floor was not plastered and often I had to wash my 2 pairs of clothes everyday after bathing."

"My life has improved because these transfers have enabled me to build a permanent house. Now I sleep well. Previously, I slept in leaking thatched house because I could not afford to renovate it annually."

"My life is different in that, I'm now sleeping in permanent house which I built using the cash transfers. Before these transfers, I slept in thatched house. Thanks to GiveDirectly for making my dream come true."

"My life has changed because through these cash transfers, we were able to start a butcher business. On a good day, it gives me a profit of UGX 70000. I'm now in position to meet the needs of my family on time. For instance treament and paying school fees. Previously, we had no source of income and I was forced to depend on loans and friends for survival."

"My life has improved because through these transfers, my grand daughter was able to access better treatment and surgery for hirschsprung disease from Mulago Hospital. I am very glad that she can now excrete normally. Before these transfers, I used to suffer cleaning her up all the time because she would excrete stool through her colon all the time. This condition was direful and I would not have managed to treat her on my own . I am very grateful to GiveDirectly for the cash transfers."

"The biggest hardship that I am faced with is inadequacy of farm land. I leased a bigger portion of the piece of land that I had in order to get some money that would enable me to get treatment. Since then, I have very limited space to cultivate. This has some time resulted into food shortage because I do not farm as I used to when I had all my land."
