Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference now is that I have peace of mind and I am happy having acquired household items (a mattress, utensils, clothes and bedsheets). I am also optimistic that I will construct a better iron roofed house.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
The moment I received the transfer, I felt happy. In my mind the budget started running.
What did you spend your first transfer on?
I gave my son UGX 1,500,000 of my first transfer to add on his transfer for buying a motorbike. He is meant to pay back after getting his second transfer and I will use it together with my second transfer for constructing an iron roofed house. I bought a mattress, utensils, bedsheets, clothes and food with the balance of the money.

What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means that I will be able to buy some household items like beddings because I really lack them. It will help me also to secure oxen for ploughing because I have been hiring oxen which is expensive.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is afternoon after garden work. I'm happy at this time because I will be resting and we shall be together as a family.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship i have faced in my life is sickness hence using a lot of money on treatment other than investing on the income generating activities.
