"My greatest desire has been to own livestock that I can depend on in the future, but this has never been possible due to financial instability. Receiving this money means a dream fulfilled because I am sure of having the opportunity to spend utmost $200 to buy 8 goats to have a long-term project. This will help me to sort out any needs in the future like school fees, because they multiply fast, unlike cows. On the other hand, I also plan to reinforce my house with hardcore s plus cement and this will include making smooth floor for my house. To accomplish this, I will spend an estimated cost of $400. This will have a positive change to my livelihood and this is the life that I have desired for a long time."
