Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that, I own an ax that is going to help me plough my farmland. I expect good harvest because this time around I am going to plough and plant at the right season. Previously I planted late because I was using other people's oxen who first prioritized their farms before they give out to others.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
The moment I received my money, I was overwhelmed with joy because I had got money to support my family.
What did you spend your first transfer on?
I spent my first transfer to purchase an ox at UGX 900,000, 2 mattresses at UGX 250,000, bed sheets and clothes for the children UGX 50,000. I also spent UGX 500,000 to pay for a motorbike.

What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means that I and my family will renovate our house. The house we are sleeping leaks whenever it rains and aunts have also destroyed the grass. The balance of the money will be used to buy household items.
What is the happiest part of your day?
My happiest part of the day is during lunch time. It's the time that I prepare food and do other household activities for my family members.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
My biggest hardship that I'm facing is lack of oxen for ploughing. We as a family hire the oxen from neighbours when it comes to farming. Having oxen of your own would make you cultivate early whenever rains start.
