Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
I have purchased construction materials for constructing a two roomed permanent house with the cash transfers. I am very happy because I will achieve my dream of owning a house. Previously, I could not afford to construct a house due to unlimited money.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
I received the message at night that day. I was very happy because a good samaritan had come to my aid. This was something that I had never dreamed of.
What did you spend your first transfer on?
I purchased bricks worth UGX 540000 and sand worth UGX 90000. I purchased nails worth UGX 100000 and cement worth UGX 224000 and timber worth UGX 224000 and ventilators worth UGX 20000. I purchased iron sheets worth UGX 30000 and pyren UGX 20000 and DPC plastic worth UGX 30000 . I spent UGX 300000 on labour. I purchased a suitcase worth UGX 80000. The balance was spent on food.
