What does receiving this money mean to you?
I together with my husband we were able to build a house with the little we had but because we had so little the house was not strong enough as much sand was mixed with cement so we would like to use this money to renovate our house and make sure it should be strong to stabd for more years to come and if some money remains we will use it to buy food.
