Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is the joy I feel having got back my farm lands that I am now cultivating on. This food crops that I am farming will help me in many ways such as feeding my family consistently, selling some to cater for the day to day expenses among others. Prior to getting this transfer, I had lost hope of ever getting back my farm lands.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
The moment I received my money, I felt really happy and exited that I thanked God for this opportunity.
What did you spend your first transfer on?
I spent my first transfer to get back my garden lands at Ugx 500000. They had been given out in exchange for money to educate my children.
I plan to use the balance Ugx 1200000 of my transfer to add up with the second transfer to build myself a permanent house.

What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means I will be able to pay my children's school fees in a timely manner. When my children are educated, my family's social status will improve and at old age, the do be able to support us in providing basic household needs.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is at 1:00pm when I have completed garden work. It's the time when I am resting and reflecting on how the day went and plan for the next day.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I face in my life is inadequate financial support. I can not pay my children's school fees in time and meet basic household needs because I broke my leg through an accident that has reduced my mobility and ability to do more of garden work.
