"I have a shop and mostly I depend on loans to stock my shop. Repayment of the loans normally gives me problems since I don't stock a lot of goods and this is what feeds my family. So if I get this money I am sure of restocking my shop and I will not go for loans. This will help me in paying fees for my children in future."
