Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
My life's biggest difference is having managed to buy a bull that I can put together with another person's to help in the joint farming. This will now also give me a voice when it comes to timely farming hence good healthy yields. Before getting this transfer to buy the bull, I used to wait on other people to first farm then later give me their oxen to plough for me. This made farming a little hard as i always did it last hence, giving me less and poor yields.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
The moment I receive my money, I felt so happy that I would now use this money to improve my family well being.
What did you spend your first transfer on?
I spent my first transfer Ugx 400000 to buy some household items such as two mattresses, three pairs of bed sheets, curtains, utensils, and stocking food stuffs.
I then bought a bull at Ugx 750000.
I am still using the balance to cater for the day to day expenses such as medical bills, among others.
