What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means that, I can construct an iron roofed house and rent land for agriculture. Currently, I have only two acres of land to cultivate crops which isn't enough. In addition, I want to move out of the thatched to an iron roofed house because rats have always destroyed my roof hence making it leak during rainy seaons.
