Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
My life's biggest difference is having built a permanent iron roofed house. This is because I have always suffered with the leaking roof of the grass thatched one. I am now relived that I will no longer have to spend on renovating it yearly and focus on other things such as children's fees among others that will develop my standard of living.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
The moment I received my money, I was really exited about it that I immediately put it in action of building myself a permanent house.
What did you spend your first transfer on?
I spent my entire first transfer Ugx 1700000 to buy building materials such as one trip of sand, three trips of bricks, nine bags of cement, sixteen pieces of timber, sixteen iron sheets, nails, a window and a door, and paying up labor that helped to build my house.

What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means building a simple iron sheet roofed house because I am fed up of frequently looking for roofing grass for the hut I am using.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of the day is very early in the morning, because, to me, another new day has started with it's own blessings.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship faced is the burden of looking for roofing grass for the hut to prevent the roof from leaking during rainy season. When it rains, especially at night, we don't sleep well.
