Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
My daily life has currently changed in that I now have a good place to sleep because I was able to buy a mattress to replace the small torn one that I used to sleep on before.
I am delighted as well because I was able to buy a plot of land that I will now freely cultivate on reliving me from the issue of hiring farm land that I have done almost all my life.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
The moment I got my money, I felt so happy for having received money that would help me financially.
What did you spend your first transfer on?
I spent my first transfer to buy a plot of land at Ugx 1000000.
I bought some household items such as a mattress, bed sheets, and utensils.
I then bought some livestock (2 goats, 4 chicken)using the balance of my money.

What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means I will build a permanent house because I stayed out of my home for six months and my home had been left without any one staying in. It is leaking and the walls are weak which is making my children sickly. I m only five days old in this home.
What is the happiest part of your day?
He happiest part of my day is at around mid day when I am done with my daily work, I read down with my fellow women in the neighbourhood to discuss issues of household challenges.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship I face in my life is lack of a specious house that will be able to accommodate me and my two children. The house is leaking and when it rains and especially at night, we have to seat until when it stops.
