I have spent my first transfer on buying a motorbike worth UGX 1700,000. However, I topped up my other money because the motorbike was for 2,000,000.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
The moment I received my money, I felt very happy because I was to buy motorbike to ease our movements.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
My life has changed because I acquired a motorbike which has eased my movements on a daily basis. For instance we can even afford to access better health centers which are a distance away and also attend cultural functions. Previously, I hired a motorbike from other community member which was very costly and at times we had no option but to receive the poor services in the neighborhood.

The biggest hardship I faced I my life is limited income. My household relies wholly on agriculture both for food and income which isn't always reliable especially during planting seasons with unstable rainfall. I realise low yields during such seasons.

I will be able to construct an iron roofed house when I receive this money. It has been very costly for me to always renovate the thatched house I live in due to scarcity of the thatch material.
