Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that, I have a peace of mind. I used to worry a lot over how to complete the purchase of this land since I had no source of income. Being HIV positive, I thought I would die before completing it's payment hence leaving my children with no where to start from and this also worried me more.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
The moment I received the money, I felt happy. I had longed to get money for completing the purchase of land.
What did you spend your first transfer on?
I used Ugx 1400000 of my first transfer for completing a purchase of two acres of land. I also bought two mattresses, clothes and solar panel with the remaining portion of the transfer.

What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means ability to pay my children's school fees in order to enable them have a bright future. Currently, I support my household through farming and some small wages I receive from support the HIV/AIDS clients but it is not sufficient.
What is the happiest part of your day?
My happiest art of the day is after mid day when I have completed my daily garden work. That makes it a free time for me because I will be waiting for food, good out to relux with friends hence I forget about the day's stress.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
My biggest hardsip is lack of a reliable source of income. This is attributed to some times delayed rains which makes it difficult for me to earn income due to poor yields/harvest. This in turn makes me fail to pay school fees for my children which affects their academic performance due to failure to attend classes regularly.
