"My life is different in that I now have my personal garden land that I acquired using the first transfer. This garden land has given me a different stand in life. I can farm my personal food and sustain my family as compared to before where I had to hire a small piece of land to farm and as the season is not over, I am forced to remove my farm produce because the owner needs their land. This made my family and I to always suffer from famine issues. Owning some livestock as well has greatly changed my life. This is because with this livestock, it acts as personal investment. When my cow calves, I can drink some milk which will improve my health through the food values I get from milk and also sell some milk to bring in a daily income. Before getting this transfer, earning money was very difficult because I had to go to other people's gardens to dig and make money. "

"My current situation is different in that I have finished building my house. This has made my lifestyle easy in terms of renovating the house and comfort as compared to before where I had to buy grass every year. When there is no money to renovate the grass thatched house, my family and I could sleep in a leaking house with great discomfort as the beds get wet during the rainny season."

"My life is different in that I now have a cow that I never had and was saving towards for along time but to no success. Along with the garden that I hired, this cow will act as my investment. I will cultivate some crops for commercial use and add up with some money that I will get after selling off a calf to keep my son in school. Before, I used to brew alcohol to keep my only son in school and raising the fees was close to impossible because I had to do other extra activities such as toil in other people's gardens to raise the amount needed in school."

"My life has changed because I have managed to shift and build my own home away from my in-laws who had become a problem to me. They used to make decisions for me and quarrel on a slight mistake making my stay with them very difficult. In my new home currently, I make my own decissions. "

"My life is different because the cash was sent to me at a time when I had just been involved in a tragic road accident and the suggestion from the doctors was for my limbs to be amputated in the event that I never had enough cash to go through the medical procedures. In addition to that, I would have never managed to do the final touches on my house like I have done so far and its all due to the financial help from give directly."

"Before I received my transfers from GiveDirectly, I was living in a small leaky grass-thatched house in my father's compound. However, with the support I received, I have established my home and built a spacious iron-roofed house where we currently live in peacefully. In addition, I have an adequate space within my home where I have begun to keep some livestock. From the motorbike, I have been able to make some extra income thus I am always able to support my family better than I could do before. I thank GiveDirectly for the support it accorded us."

"I don't expect my life to change much because I am still focusing on my daughter's school fee payment. This will not allow me to invest the transfers on anything tangible, but I am sure I will be living a stress-free life because I will have made a lot of improvements in the school fees sector. After this,I will focus on constructing a new kitchen because I don't have any at the moment."

"In the next six months, I hope to be living in a better condition than I am now. This is because I am currently planning to plaster our house which will improve its general appearance and make it durable as well. This will also give my wife a break from the constant renovations that she has to do after every rainy season. Since our house is made of mud, it is usually easily destroyed by the rains hence the repairs."

"I plan to start up a general merchandise shop business in Bukedea town with the transfers. I will be selling to my customers thus raising money that can continue sustaining the family. "

"The biggest hardship I face is lack of money for building ironroofed house and providing basic needs to my children studying. "
