Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
I have paid for an arce of land that is going to boost my crop production. I intend to complete its payment with the second transfer I am expecting. Secondly, I have acquired an ox that has eased my farming mainly ploughing. Previously, I used other people's oxen that often made me to plant late since the oxen owners first prioritized their farms before they give out their oxen.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
The moment I recieved my money, I became very happy because I had got money to buy an ox and pay for land.
What did you spend your first transfer on?
I spent UGX 850,000 to pay for an arce of land and UGX 850,000 to buy an ox that is currently helping me with ploughing my land.

What does receiving this money mean to you?
Recieving this money means I can buy an acre of land together with oxen. I currently don't have enough land to cultivate and oxen to plough the land.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is after lunch.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The hardship I have faced is lack of oxen to plough my own land. During every planting season, I only get an opportunity to plough my land late in the season since oxen are not easily available for hire early in the season. This inturn affects my crop production hence famine in a long run
