Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
I feel at peace and independent from the time I moved out of the main home to my own compoud. Being in a polygamous marriage has not been the best for me especially when all women shared the same compoud. There were many qurrels and no peace at all.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
I felt so happy the moment I received the transfer, I kept the happiness within my heart and told God almighty thank you.
What did you spend your first transfer on?
I spent my first transfer for buying a cow at UGX 865,000. I spent UGX 300,000 for constructing two grass thatched houses. I treated my children at UGX 100,000, bought a bed and utensils at UGX 150,000. The balance of the money was spent on purchase of food.
