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.
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.
What did you spend your first transfer on?
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.
