"Receiving this money means a boost to my income. This is because I plan to use 200 USD to start a business of buying and selling livestock. I have for long depended on farming which has not been quite reliable because of frequent drought in this region.I. have always desired to start a business so as to supplement what I get from farm. This will help me satisfy the family's basic needs which I have been struggling a lot to meet."
