Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is the joy I feel seeing that my house that had remained incomplete for years has now been completed. Prior to completing this house, it was always so rocky, dusty and unpleasant in that the ground was not leveled.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
Having heard my phone notification, my instinct told me it could be my money. On checking, it was true. At that moment, I felt so delighted that I suddenly jumped with joy.
What did you spend your first transfer on?
I spent my first transfer Ugx 920000 to buy a cement, sand, bricks and pay up labor that I used to renovate my house and build a veranda.
I then bought a mattress, bed, bed sheets, utensils, and food stuffs that improved my household standard of living. This totaling to Ugx 600000.
I used the balance to pay up fees for my child.
