Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is happiness and gratefulness. I bought a big six by six mattress and a big blanket that I now use together with my grand children. This has changed my daily life in that the fear I always had of these children suffering from pneumonia has gone. We now sleep comfortable. Prior to receiving this money, I had a small mattress that I had surrendered to them as I used a papyrus mat for a bed.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
The moment I received my money, I felt so happy that I blessed the Lord saying, "Oh! who am I to get such grace from God and receive this kind of help?" I am really grateful.
What did you spend your first transfer on?
I spent part of transfer to mold and bake some bricks at Ugx 500000.
I then bought some household items such as mattress, blanket, utensils and buying food stuff to celebrate Christmas.
I am saving up some money that I plan to use to start building.

What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means I will be able to build an iron roofed house. The one that I have is grassthached which leaks and it is very inconviniencing especially when it rains. I will also buy oxen that will support in farming. This will improve food productivity in my home.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I am happiest in the evening when my grandchildren come around. Just their presence alone is joy in my heart.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I am faced with is lack of money to do the things I would like to do. I want to build a house, buy a piece of land and do many things for my home but I don't have the capacity to do so since I don't have money.
