"Receiving this money means building a good house for my family. Our house collapsed in October last due to heavy rainfall thus rendering us homeless. I built a very small structure to shelter us but due to its limited size I decided to construct a bigger one. Currently, the new house is still open on the roof because grass is very scarce and I do not have to purchase iron sheets. This forces my wife and children to seek shelter at our relatives' houses during rains."

"Receiving this money means that my dream project of raising cattle for commercial purposes shall materialize. Since I have already planted substantial amounts of nappier grass, I will utilize the money on purchasing about ten calves. I will then raise and fatten them before selling to fetch more money that will be used in buying other herds of young cattle."
