We check in with people at each stage of the cash transfer process to see how things are going. Take a look at some of their stories as they appear here in real-time.
Learn more about how recipients opt in to share their stories.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The big difference in my life is that I am relaxed and I have peace of mind because I have paid school fees and a debt that I had. Previously, I was stressed, sickly and had sleepless nights due to over thinking. My children could be sent home for school fees yet I did not have any money to keep them at school.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
The moment I received the transfers, I became very happy. I just had to keep calm because I did not want to hurry to withdraw the money when there is no clear plan.
What did you spend your first transfer on?
I used UGX 1,025,000 of my first transfer for paying school of my my three children. I bought a cow of UGX 600,000 and paid a debt in the village saving group of UGX 75,000.

What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means that I will be able to buy some cattle that will multiply and help me meet the school fees demands in future.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is afternoon because I will be with other relative and family members sometimes sharing the experiences.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship is that I lack enough land that would help produce more to help me meet the household needs like school fees.
