Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference is that I have acquired construction materials. I look forward to sleeping under an iron roofed house. In addition to this, I have money to enable easy access of good medical services.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
I heard the phone buzzing but I could not read the message. I called upon the trustee who informed me about the cash transfer on that particular day. I was overwhelmed with joy.
What did you spend your first transfer on?
I spent UGX1000000 to buy two cows and UGX50000 to make bricks. I bought iron sheets worth UGX360000. I lent out UGX100000. I spent UGX100000 on my daughter inlaw's medical bills. The balance was spent on food.

What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means I can build an iron roofed house and beddings. The house I currently sleep in leaks and beddings are too old.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the evening.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship I have faced is poor health. My health is not stable because I'm athematic. This has always costed me a lot of money to treat it of which money I don't have enough.
