Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
My life is much better because I managed to access better treatment since I was poisoned. If it was not for this transfer, I would have died because I could not afford to access treatment. Secondly, the motorbike I acquired has made my movements easy to different markets being a businessman. Prior to this transfer, I rode a bicycle for long distances and I could suffer from chest pain.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
I felt very happy because I got money for treating myself and also acquiring a motorbike.
What did you spend your first transfer on?
I bought a motorbike to easy transportation worth UGX 1,000,000, household goods (utensils and mattress) worth UGX 110,000, treatment worth UGX 500,000 and food worth UGX 90,000.
