Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
My daily life's biggest difference is having money at hand. This is because I can pick and use it as I please and I was able to boost my Clinic business. Although I had a Clinic running, it was always difficult to make ends meet since it hardly had enough drugs to sell.
In addition to this, I am happy that most people in my community got these transfer. This is because they now can afford to buy drugs compared to before when someone would come and take medicine on credit and take almost forever to pay it back. This kept my business at low levels.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
The moment I received my money, I felt so happy that I would be in position to boost my business.
What did you spend your first transfer on?
I spent my first transfer Ugx 360000 to boost my Clinic business.
I then bought two heads of cattle at Ugx 1000000.
I then bought some household items such bed sheets, utensils, food and others that I do not recall.
I am still saving up Ugx 100000 that I plan to use to shop for my daughter.
