Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is seeing that my husband as well has his own motorcycle business that he uses to offer paid transport services to the community. Prior to getting this money, although he used to ride other people's motorcycles, he was not popular as now.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
The moment I received my money, I felt so delighted that my husband would start off his own motorcycle business and fully support the family.
What did you spend your first transfer on?
I spent my first transfer Ugx 1400000 to add up with that of my co wife and bought a motorcycle for our husband.
I then used some of my money of about Ugx 120000 to mold bricks and buy poles that I plan to use to build another grass thatched house.
I used the balance of my transfer to cater for some household needs like feeding and clothing.

What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means my family will be able to build an iron sheet roofed house because the grass thatched being used at present leaks during rainy season, and then we pay children's school fees.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is night when all is done during day and I have taken a rest. To me, day time is all work leaving little moments to rest.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship faced currently is inadequate space to house the family. The grass thatched house is not spacious enough for all of us, coupled with shortage of roofing grass, it makes it hard to change grass frequently.
