Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
My daily life has improved in that, I live happily because I was able to make an initial payment for my acre of land. Previously, I relied on renting land for agriculture annually which was costly since I never had a stable source of income. This in turn limited on the amount of food crops I could plant hence low yields which brought about food shortage.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
The moment I received the transfer, I felt very excited and asked God prayerfully on how to use it wisely. This was the first of its kind.
What did you spend your first transfer on?
I used Ugx 1500000 of my first transfer to make an initial payment for an acre of land I'm purchasing. I also spent the balance on food and medical.
