Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that, I was in position to hire other people to help me hearvest my grand nuts that took a short period of time(4 days). Had I not recieved this transfer, it would have taken me a period of 4 weeks because I would be doing it alone since my children are at school. In addition, I have been in position to pay dowary for my son's wife some thing that has given me a peace of mind because the in-laws were giving me pressure.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
The moment I recieved my money, I became very happy because I had got the money to pay as dowary for my son's wife.
What did you spend your first transfer on?
I spent my first transfer to purchase a trip of sand, solar, metalic door, utensils and paid dowary for my son's wife, hired others for agriculture. I have not yet spent UGX 900,000 but I am planning to spend it to pay off the debts I have that will enable me recover my pieces of land of land which are currently with the money lenders.

What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means I will be able to retrieve the three acres of land we leased out to neighbour. The money is all 2 million shillings. The balance I want to cement my house so it can look nice.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the afternoon. At this time normally my children will have finished to eat and that makes me happy.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship I am facing is limited land for agriculture. We leased out 3 acres and that has left me with just one acre for agriculture. Little harvests are realised hence failure to meet household needs because nothing is left for sale.
