Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is the feeling of delight within myself knowing that I now own personal assets (the cows that will reproduce) and will be looked at in the community as a responsible family man. Before getting this money, I was always considered a no body because I did not have any personal assets.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
The moment I received my transfer, I was so happy that I had got my long time investment in terms of the cows I was planning to buy then.
What did you spend your first transfer on?
I spent most of my first transfer to buy two cows at Ugx 1600000.
I then spent Ugx 100000 on clothing my entire family.
