""I have desired to own a piece of residential land, but due to financial challenges, this dream has never occurred. I returned from my marital home 2 years ago and I have been staying in my brother's house with my 2 children. According to our culture, if a lady got married she is not considered as part of the family anymore when it comes to the division of wealth. I am planning to spend 70,000 shillings to purchase a piece of land within our village. Also, I am going to spend the remaining part of the transfer to construct a 2 rooms house for my family. Therefore, receiving will restore my dignity and that of my family.""
