"I expect to have expanded my house because it is too small.I am also planning to buy more maize for family consumption when the prices are still low."

"I spent my first transfer for buying household items (a mattress, curtains, bed, kitchen utensils, clothes). I used some money for burning bricks which i intend to use for constructing a house. My husband is also stocking produce ( rice and millet) so that we can sell when prices go high in the future, My husband also started a business of roasting chicken with this money."

"I spent 380,000ugx of my second transfer for buying a cow. I still have the balance and i intend to use it for buying two bulls when the market prices lower."

"I am planning to use part of my money to renovate my house at approximately 300,000 ugx. It will cost this because its only cementing inside it and the veranda. I also paid debt of 700,000 ugx which I had borrowed from some people who had benefited earlier than me. I used the money i borrowed to buy solar at 360,000 ugx, mattress at 140,000 ugx and a bed 200,000 ugx. I then plan to buy my children beds as well because I had promised since they are sleeping on mats. The cost of this will depend on the pricing. People selling such items are increasing prices as they think that we now have free money. As next term opens, I am going to use part of the transfer that i am keeping for paying fees for my children at 500,000 ugx."

"The biggest hardship i have faced in life in the current situation has been feeding,food prices are high and even the money to buy enough food for the family is scarce."

"The biggest hardship I have faced in my life is lack of land for farming and yet hiring land has become very expensive in our region as a result of the sugarcane economic activity which has inflated the prices of land. This has made provision of food for my family hard. "

"My greatest achievement that I am proudest of is when I planted some cabbages in my farm in 2016. It was at a time when the prices were very high. As a result I was able to get 10,000 as profit "

"The biggest hardship I faced is having unreliable source of income which has made my shop stock to go down due to high prices of goods. This has also made it hard to provide for my family."

"I am currently facing hardships in terms of feeding my children. We are at times forced to miss some meals as prices of goods have gone up and most of the times I provide food alone because of the neglect from my spouse. "

"My biggest hardship has been finding food for the family because we have faced long droughts which led to little harvests. The demand for cereals also went up causing prices to shoot as well. "
