"My life is different than it would have been because when I go out of home, I come back and find food and water readily available, thanks to a wife I married. In addition, I sleep on a bed and mattress comfortably. Before, I used to come back after labouring, start looking for water and cook for myself, then sleep on very uncomfortable floor with a mat. "

"I expect in the next six months that I will be able to save part of the profits of the business and buy a goat. With this goat, I believe I will earn an extra income through its sale in the near future."

"I desire to educate my nine children so that they can get jobs and take care of me in future. Besides, they will also be able to live a descent life free from poverty. I can only achieve this dream if I have a stable source of income. Therefore, I will use this transfer to start a grocery business, and also purchase oxen that I will use to scale up farming and hire them at a fee. This will mean curbing food shortage and generating income to finance their education."

"My biggest ambition is to start a tailoring shop with my husband but the biggest hindrance is lack of skills and capital. The motivation behind this dream is to achieve a stable source of income that will improve our livelihoods. Receiving this transfer therefore means, I will enroll in a dressmaking college and purchase all the equipment necessary for setting up the tailoring shop. Once I am equipped enough, I will teach my husband the same skills so that we can run the business together."

"My husband died over twenty years ago and left me with three children. I was later inherited by his brother whom we sired another 3 children together, but the marriage did not work and I had to raise them singlehandedly. Being a widow who depends solely on subsistence farming and casual jobs, I could not meet their needs with ease. In fact none of the first five children managed to complete primary education due to lack of school fees. My desire is to educate my last born son who is currently in standard eight, up to college so that he can secure formal employment. This will enable him to fend for himself without much difficulty and also take care of me in my old age. Therefore, I will purchase livestock which I will use to finance his education in secondary and tertiary levels. I can say that receiving this transfer means that generational poverty will come to an end in this family."

"My life has improved now in that, I have a peace of mind because I have been able to purchase what I lacked in my household like Livestock, pay school fees and requirements for my children. In addition to that I have also started the construction of my house using these transfers. Before receiving these transfers, I lived a hard life of providing for the family since my husband never bothered to provided for the household. He left all the responsibility to me alone."

"My life has totally improved in that, I bought a motor bike. With this, I operate a boda-boda transport business which makes for me a total income of at least UGX 15000 daily and it's a service to my community. Before, I used to depend on agriculture which was very unreliable due to prolonged drought in some seasons. This usually resulted into famine and suffering."

"My life has greatly changed in that, I have been able to construct my permanent house that will save me from the issue of buying grass and renovating the grass thatched house yearly as I have been doing before."

"Receiving this money means that I will be able to retrive the leased piece of land, pay bride price to my parents-in-law and buy household items. "

"Receiving this money means that I will be able to buy a piece of land that I can cultivate and also buy some cattle so that I can pay bride price."
