Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
I feel much happier and confident that my living standards will never be the same again. Being disabled, I have limited movement and access to funds. The cash transfer will uplift me and change my living standards.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
I heard the message tone at night. However, I could not read it so early morning I called upon my daughter who read the message for me. At that moment I felt very happy and excited because I had waited for this opportunity for a long time.
What did you spend your first transfer on?
I am planning to spend the first cash transfer to purchase a plot of land where I can construct a house and purchase some household items.
