I bought ironsheets worth UGX1000000 and cement worth UGX130000 and chairs worth UGX100000. Part of the cash transfer was spent on school fees.

What does receiving this money mean to you?
First and foremost I don't have a proper house and a kitchen therefore receiving this money means that I will be able to build a kitchen plus a house.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I'm ever happy at around 11 am after I'm done with garden work. At this point in time I will be preparing to make lunch.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
I'm currently faced with a challenge of taking my children to school. I do not have enough resources to cater for their school fees. Secondly my house is currently in a sorrow state and there is need to construct a permanent one.
