Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that I have managed to get a motorcycle that is now helping me to timely meet the day to day home expenses. This is through the paid transport service that I offer to the community with my motorcycle business. Prior to getting this transfer, I used to do casual labor to raise money to sustain my family and this made life so challenging since we at times would go without some needs.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
I felt so happy the moment I received my money. This is because I had as well hoped to get this money after hearing that people were getting this kind of financial help.
What did you spend your first transfer on?
I spent my entire first transfer Ugx 1700000 and added some from another source to buy a motorcycle.
