"We currently do not have a house structure and are hosted in the co wife's house. This transfer will enable me build my own house. Additionally, we are happy to acquire our own oxen and other farm equipment to sustain our family needs through farming besides buying foodstuffs for the family during this hunger period in my village. This makes me happy because my family does not go hungry."
