Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
My life has changed because this cash transfer has enabled me to plaster my permanent house. I'm now sleeping in a clean house. Secondly, I have also paid fees for my children who are in private schools on time. This term, my children will fully concentrate at school. Before this transfer, our house was dusty which often made my clothes dirty and more so I could not pay my children's school fees on time.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
I felt very happy to the extent that I ululated because I got money for buying building materials to plaster my incomplete permanent house and pay school fees for my children.
What did you spend your first transfer on?
I paid schools fees for my 2 children who are in secondary and primary level worth UGX 610,000, bought building materials for plastering my house ( 20 bags of cement, windows, paint and door) worth UGX 995,000, bought clothing/ household goods (blanket) worth UGX 45,000 and food (cassava flour, tomatoes, cooking oil and meat) worth UGX 50,000.

What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money will mean I will sleep in a fully furnished house and my ability to pay school fees with ease will be enhanced. When my children complete their education, they will be able to sustain themselves and support me and my spouse during our old age.
What is the happiest part of your day?
My happiest part of the day is in the morning when I have just woken up from sleep. It finds me when I have a fresh and reluxed mind free of stress.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship I face is inability to pay school fees for my children in time. They do not study well because they are chased out of school time and again because of non payment of school fees.
