"Receiving this money will mean a lot to me. I have a strong desire to own a dairy cow which will give me milk every morning. At the moment, I buy 2 liters of milk every day for 30 shillings a liter. This translates to 1800 shillings each month. Raising that amount, considering my age, is an uphill task. To get out of my current circumstances, I plan to buy a dairy cow worth 30000 shillings. From it, I will have at least 5 liters of milk every day."

"As a father and husband with a relatively large family, I have been struggling in vain to build a bigger and better house. Consequently, we have been residing in a single-roomed and thatched-roof house. Hence, receiving this money means that my family shall afford to build a better and bigger house, and thus enjoy a better living standard."

"I have been aspiring to do crop farming for commercial purposes. Unfortunately, we do not have a reasonable size of land for the same. Besides, the little profits we get from our business is just enough to meet our basic needs, leaving one for leasing more land or accomplishing other tasks. Hence, the biggest hardship I have faced in life is the inadequacy of arable land."
