I spent my first transfer to purchase construction materials( 5 bags of cement, 2 Jerry cans of paint, a trip of bricks, a trip sand) and foodstuffs. I have not yet spent UGX 1,000,000 but I plan to spend it for adding construction materials and a cow.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
The moment I received my money, I became very happy to have got it finally. Previously, my money delayed because I was not having a national ID during enrollment to enable me register my account number in time and processing for an ID took time.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
My life is different in that, I have been in position to acquire construction materials that are going to be used to complete our house . Before receiving this transfer, I didn't have hope of completing our house soon because we do not have a stable source of income.
