"The first thing I will use this money in is paying for my niece her school. When my sister passed away, I resumed the responsibility of paying her daughter's school fees which has been a challenge having to depend on my business of selling porridge alone. With this money in, her school fees puzzle is solve and she can proceed with her schooling with no worries. Secondly, I would like to purchase a sewing machine, to keep practising and perfecting my skills. When my father passed away, I couldn't proceed with my tailoring course due to lack of finances. In achieving this, I will be able to set up my own business that will generate income for me and help me improve my way of living. Lastly, I will consider building my mother a house in the upcountry. She hasn't been able to construct a home for herself after my father's death. With the help of my husband, I will be able to use part of this money to help her achieve this one dream she has longed to fulfil."
