Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that I can now afford to buy good food for the family. This has improved on our nutrition in the household. More so, I have money to purchase scholastic materials. This was very hard in the past because we had limited sources of income since we entirely depend on agriculture.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
I recall on that day my husband calling me and delivering the good news to me. I was perplexed at that moment because I had never held such an exorbitant amount of money.
What did you spend your first transfer on?
I spent the first cash transfer to purchase cement worth UGX 700000. I also bought a mattress worth UGX 100000, a blanket worth UGX 50000 and clothes UGX 20000. I bought utensils worth UGX 50000. I am planning to spend the balance on constructing the house.

What does receiving this money mean to you?
Recieving this money means I will complete the house since its over due from the time we constructed the house, we were still able bodied people but now we are aging and getting weaker every now and then.This is the only opportunity we have to complete this house because we have so many demands to cater for in the family.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is after lunch when I am satisfied and my whole family has had a meal.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship I am facing is that my spouse was once operated yet he is the bread winner in this family and because of it, we inject alot of money for his treatment and he can nolonger engage in any hard tasks because of his operation.I find it very hard catering for the needs of the family.
