"I'm very happy to be receiving this money because it will greatly change my life. I plan on using this money to maintain my house. During the rainy seasons my family suffers because we don't have proper roofing and experience leakages in the house so I will use this money to buy iron sheets and we will be more at ease."

"Well, this money means that I will be putting up in a better looking house. This is because up until now Iam staying in a house that leaks which means I and my family do not sleep in a comfortable house. But when I get this transfer, I will be able to build a good house that does not leak."
