"When I receive this money, I will buy Cows that will help in milk production so that our children feed on it to improve their diet. I will also use part of it to pay medical bills for our daughter who was diagnosed with a spinal complication. And the remaining money shall be paid in school to cater for the dues and requirements of our children."

"The biggest hardship I have faced is lack of resources to sustain my household's needs. This is because there is no much land for both subsistance farming and commercialised farming."

"Prior to receiving this money, the owner of the plot of land wanted to resell it to another person because I could not raise money on time. I am now a happy man knowing that I finished to secure my plot of land that will serve as my home."

"My daily life has changed because I plan to start up a business that will keep me employed and be in position to generate money to provide for my family. Before, I had to farm in order to meet my family demands."

"My new additional goal for the next four months is to save part of the transfer and the income I am getting in my business and use it to venture into a wholesale retail business."

"Previously, I used to commute from Mathare to river road for college. This was the most trying time for me because I could miss lectures due to lack of fare, it reached a point I felt like dropping out of college. I spent my most recent transfer on paying monthly rent for the hostel where I am staying next to the college. For sure relocating has smoothened my operation in college and it's evident that my grades have improved due to work-life balance."

"I want to save and buy a sofa seat to beautify my home and also buy cardboard to store my utensils. I would also need to save to boost my business by restocking it to generate more income. With an increase in profit level, our lives are bound to change for the better."

"I heard my phone buzzing at midnight. Only to check and read a mobile money from GiveDirectly. I was very happy at that moment because this money was going to transform my life. I had alot of worries due to lack of money to purchase most household items."

"Right from the day that I received te cash transfer, I felt very different. I feel very lively and super happy. I feel at peace because I able to purchase clothes and food for my family. Previously, I was hard up and I could not afford most basic needs such as food and clothes. We used to sleep on hand wooven mats and we could go hungry without food."

"I was woken up by my buzzing phone at midnight. When I checked the phone, I was amazed to see a mobile money informing me that I received UGX 1728300 and it was sent by GiveDirectly. That moment I became very happy and chanted songs of joy because I was really desperate for a miracle so as to fulfill my family obligations."
