Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
My life has improved because I acquired oxen which have enabled me this season to cultivate millet on time. This time a round I expect good yield. In the past, I hired oxen from other people but was always given late when the rains are over. This could affect my yield all the time yet the inputs were costly. In addition, I have also settled my children's school fees this term fully.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
I felt very excited because I got money for buying oxen for ploughing my farm land.
What did you spend your first transfer on?
I have spent first transfer on oxen worth UGX 1,420,000 and paid school fees for my two children 125,000, paid medical bills worth UGX 30,000 and bought food worth UGX 100,000 .
