Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
My life's biggest difference is having managed to secure a plot of land that I am now building on. Since I left my marital home and decided to rent with my children, this will give me a big relief on the side of paying rent monthly and instead transfer my money to other activities such as feeding appropriately, timely paying fees for my children, among others.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
The moment I received my money, I felt so happy that I knelt down and prayed thanking God for this kind of blessing.
What did you spend your first transfer on?
I spent my first transfer Ugx 1500000 to buy a plot of land.
I used the balance to buy seven pieces of iron sheets and nails that I plan to use while building on my plot of land.
