"My life is better because very soon I will be owning a plot of land once I receive my second transfer. I'm planning to build my grass thatched houses there. In the past, I used to stay at parent's home with my children and at times rented when situations could get tough at home. Secondly, I'm now sleeping very well on my bed. Before, I slept on the floor."

"I checked my phone at night after I heard a beeping sound. I was amazed to see a mobile money message from GiveDirectly. I was so excited and happy that GiveDirectly had fulfilled its promise of sending me the cash transfers."

"In the next six months, I shall have saved the transfers and bought cement and plastered my house. By that time, I shall be having a beautiful house free from dust which is hazardous to our health."

"In the next six months l expect to have fix the steel door and windows and l will be staying in a nice good looking house where l do not need to worry of insecurity."

"Upon receiving my money, I felt very happy because I had never held such an amount of money in my life."

"The moment I received my money, I felt very happy because I got financial support for clearing debts which were stressing me."

"For a long time, I thought that I could not own any cow in my life. This was only made possible through the GiveDirectly support and now I have my own, which I am expecting it to reproduce and to increase in number over some years. To me, this is the biggest difference in my life for it comes along with the pride and respect one is being given in our community if he/she has one."

"The biggest difference that am about to get in my life is an iron roofed house. I am currurently sleeping in a grass thatched house with a leaking roof. I am also getting weaker because of age and currently having difficulty to work. On the other hand, thatch has become scarse. To me constructing an iron roofed house will be the greatest achievement."

"The moment I recieved the transfer, I felt happiness in my heart. I am an old man of 65 years without a home, I have been staying in some one's home but will now construct my own."

"The biggest hardship is lack money adequate money for educating my children. Being a widow Iam over burdened on how to get money to pay school fees for my girl at kyebongo university and a boy studying at Amus college."
