Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life the happiness I feel for having managed to get back these four farm lands that had taken over years with no hope of ever getting them back. This is now going to help me to embark on agriculture as a source of livelihood. I will now get relieved from the issue of always hiring farm lands expensively and at times ending up with little harvest since I have to sell off what ever I have to pay up for the garden. This leaves my family with almost nothing to survive on until the next season.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
The moment I received my money, I was very happy that I thanked God for this kind of help.
What did you spend your first transfer on?
I spent part of my first transfer Ugx 800000 to get back four farm lands that had been given out in exchange for money to relieve my late father from a debt.
I used some money to buy two mattresses at Ugx 200000.
I then bought an ox plough at Ugx 180000.
I then bought a bull at Ugx 500000.
