"When I received my first transfers, I used 700,000ugx for purchasing three cows to act as an income generating activity. I also bought three pigs 150,000ugx for the same purpose. I then bought a bed, a mattress and clothes which costed 350,000ugx in order to improve on my living conditions. Because I did not have transport, I decided to purchase a second hand bicycle at 100,000ugx. the balance of 400,000ugx, I intend to use for paying tuition for my child."
