Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
My life is different in that I was in position to acquire a calf which I never had before. I intend to rear it for future purposes like paying my children's school fees and medical bills. In addition, I have also secured building materials for constructing another house since the one we currently occupy is not enough.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
The moment I received my money, I felt very excited because I had never held such an amount of unconditional cash in my entire life.
What did you spend your first transfer on?
I spent my first transfer on buying a calf worth UGX 400,000, building materials ( iron sheets, a door, 2 trips of bricks, 2 windows) worth UGX 670,000 I also bought clothes/ household goods ( a mattress, utensils and a bed) worth UGX 380,000 and paid school fees for my son worth UGX 250,000

What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means that I will be able to build another house. I share asingle room with the family members and visitors some times when they come. The room is so much congested and inconveniencing since it's small. I will build one for my self and spouse , the children with visitors shall be using the other. There will be no more inconveniences and congestion.
What is the happiest part of your day?
My happiest part of the day is afternoon hours after getting a meal. I relax with my children while watching them playing.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
My biggest challenge is lack of money for providing other basic needs to the family members. My children some times fall sick but I end up failing to provide treatment hence thier lives are at risk.
