Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference so far is that I have acquired household items that I could not afford before. My life is much more comfortable and peaceful.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
My husband read a mobile money message. However, we were not yet convinced that it was true. We had to cross check with our mobile money account to confirm if indeed it was true. When we confirmed it, we jubilated on top of our voices and celebrated.
What did you spend your first transfer on?
I purchased bricks worth UGX 600000 and sand worth UGX 100000. I spent UGX 400000 on transport. I bought a mattress worth UGX 115000, a bed worth UGX 65000 and a pair of bedsheets worth UGX 22000. I bought two chairs worth UGX 17000 and a sauce pan worth UGX 28000. I spent UGX 60000 to repair a bicycle and UGX 160000 on the foundation designing. I spent UGX 10000 on medical treatment. I bought cassava worth UGX 13000. I am planning to spend the balance on purchasing more construction materials like timber and cement.

My family members will no longer suffer from pneumonia because of coldness.
