Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that, the bodaboda business we began with our motorcycle supports the well being of the family for example when there's anything we lack the business provides. Secondly, this money helped me acquire a new mattress and I gave my children the old one enabling them enjoy their sleep without bedsoars. Lastly I live a more peaceful life now that I was able to pay all my debts setting me free from my creditors who had lost trust in me to the extent of naming me a bad debtor.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
My heart was filled with joy because this money was going to help me sort out so many challenges I have been facing previously in my family.
What did you spend your first transfer on?
I and my co wife pooled money together to procure a motorcycle and livestock which amounted to ugx 1400000 each person. The remaining money I spent it on household items and clear debts.

What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means that I will be able to build iron-roof house. My family members will be sleeping in comfortable accommodation as compared to current one which is leaking whenever it rains. This leaking roof is so much inconveniencing at night since all of us have to find standing spots hence we end up getting less sleep.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is morning hours. I can really plan well without stress on how to sustain the family as most of them wake up healthy.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship I face is lack of farm land. Iam unable to maintain my family well in terms of health , education and feeding since I produce little every season due to lack of land. My family members fall sick constanlty because of insufficient dietary feeding.
