Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is the happiness and joy I feel seeing that I have light in my home. I now use this to charge my phone not taking it to other people's homes as before. In addition to this, I am delighted because I can now help people in my community to freely charge their phones. This alone keeps the people happy and friendly.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
The moment I received i felt so exited that I immediately put it into plan as to solve my most immediate needs.
What did you spend your first transfer on?
I spent my first transfer Ugx 400000 to mold bricks. I then paid Ugx 600000 for my child's fees. I got back my farm land at Ugx 500000. I used the balance and bought some household items such ad solar, and catering for the day to day needs.
