Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
My life has improved because I have bought house hold items that I did not have before, these include a mattress for my children, utensils and a set of tables. This makes me feel so happy . Before I got money, my children were sleeping on a mat but I had no option.

When I received the money, I felt so happy and relieved because this money was going to enable me buy most of the things I disired.
What did you spend your first transfer on?
I spent my first transfer for buying 12 iron sheets, food, household items(a table set, utensils, a mattress , clothes), paying school fees, repairing the bicycle and hiring farm land.

What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means that I will construct a house for my children. The current house is small and cannot accommodate all the family members. The balance of the money will be used to purchase household items like saucepans, plates, beddings, etc.
What is the happiest part of your day?
My happiest part of the day is morning. When my family members wake up healthy in this time of the day, I am always happy.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
My biggest hardship is lack of oxen for ploughing. We hire oxen at 200,000shs and sometimes this money is not there. We therefore can't dig a bigger portion of land with hand hoes and we end up having little food in the house.
