Prior to getting this money, I used to sleep on a very old mattress and dressed on rags which is no longer the case nowadays.

"My life is better now than I would have been had I not received the transfer because it was through this money I was able to complete my house that I have rented out one side and therefore I earn in region of ugx 40000 monthly. These monthly collections have helped me cater for the wellbeing of my family in terms of buying domestic goods like food, clothes, medical among others. In addition to that, I live a happy life because I have money most of the time that I collect from rent. Prior to getting money, we depended on our small shop which could not meet all the demands in my household and it almost collapsed. I'm so grateful and would like to extend my gratitude to the philanthropic world for the amazing support rendered to me."
