thanks everyone for thoughts and advice, after a lot of searching I went with this one, its confused the guys in Mbale as they are used to Western Union but this just appealed to me more. If you think things are difficult and crap here go and try living under conditions stricter than New Zealand but multiplied by being a third world country. Given all that if I didnt have a wife, kids and grandchildren Id live there in a heartbeat. Such a beautiful people.I would love to grow my own food, but I can not find bacon seeds

Maybe I'm a bit late...
My friend is Ugandan/UK citizen, and regularly sends money to his family via Western Union. Low fees and only practical way to get it there.Semtex fixes all

What an interesting thread.
A tricky problem.
THIS might be a useful thing to get, for us all - TransferWise account pricing: What are the fees? - TransferWise
Neat for buying things overseas.

After a lot of deep thinking I finally went to TransferWise...
this could be just a one off but around 2pm last Thursday sent 3 amounts off to different people, once I had finally got all their living addresses (2 guys live in villages without power, but everybody has cell phones) and bank details, yesterday Wednesday 1 has replied his has come through. Wheres the rest?? TransferWise say all amounts have been transferred into bank accounts...blah blah etc
As I stated this could have been just tough luck on my part, but I wont use them in future, either Western Union (very popular in Uganda) or direct bank transfer...I would love to grow my own food, but I can not find bacon seeds
