I am feeling better having got adquate medical attension with the transfer. I have also constructed a pit latrine that has improved hygiene in my home. Previously, I had no hope of life because I could not afford treatment.

I used my first transfer for buying a cow UGX 850,000, a blanket, utensils, food and cement that I used for cementing the floor to my house. The balance was spent on treatment.

What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving thsi money will help me acquire adequate medication. Thus will help me improve on my health condition. I have a complication that requires an operation to correct it. I have failed to get money to help that course and therefore, receiving this money is timely.
I will also hire land in order to cultivate crops that I sale some in order to raise household income.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the noon time because it finds when I have eaten lunch. My age requires eating in time and when I have eaten, my mind is reluxed and my neighbours interact with me.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship hardship face in my life is limited income. I am a widow and my source of income is through farming. I have one source of income which some times fails due to failure in rains or drought. That leaves me with no choice but to beg from neighbours.
