Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that I feel happy seeing that I was able to weed my rice farm in a very little time given the labour that I was able to pay for. In the past, I always had to weed the farm and even leave some parts since its too big and there was no money to employ any labourers.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
The moment I received my money, I felt happy for this financial help.
What did you spend your first transfer on?
I spent my first transfer to hire a garden at Ugx 600000 that I will use until my money is given back. In that garden, I had to buy and plant G.nuts in it.
I then bought two sheep at Ugx 140000
I used Ugx 500000 to employ the local community to help me in weeding my rice farm.
I used the balance of my transfer to cater for some day to day expenses such as treatment, clothing , feeding, buying household items like mattress, bed sheets, a bed and utensils.
