Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
I am very peaceful because I acquired iron sheets that will be used to rennovate the roof. In the past, I was worried because of the leaking roof. However those worries have been combated as I look forward to rennovating the roof and the floor because it is too dusty.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
I was very happy at that moment more so because the cash transfer is unconditional. I do not have to worry about paying it back.
What did you spend your first transfer on?
I bought iron sheets worth UGX1400000. I donated UGX150000 to the church. I paid school fees worth UGX100000. I spent UGX50000 on transport costs.

What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means that I will use it to renovate my house that I'm living in. My house is currently leaking and I cannot sleep whenever it rains. I will then buy iron sheets, cement and other building items to complete my house.
What is the happiest part of your day?
My happiest part of the day is evening. This is the time that I conclude with my daily work and everyone happens to be at home at this time.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
My biggest hardship is lack of school fees for my children. If I educate my children, then they will get better life in future. I'm not educated and Iam interfaced with a lot of challenges.
