Sharon
received a $443 initial payment.
"When I received my first transfer, I used 1,200,000ugx for purchasing a cow and a bull. The cow will help my household in milk production while the bull will help in opening up land for cultivation. I bought a set of chairs (A sofa set) worth 100,000ugx since we have been lacking. Because this transfer came in at a time when my mother was sick, I used 100,000ugx for paying her medical bills. The balance of 300,000ugx was spent on household feeding."
