What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
Our first plan is to use part of the transfer to plough our farm, where we plan to grow maize, for food security. Secondly, we intend to use another part of the transfer to build a new house, because this one is in a bad condition. Finally, we intend to keep the remaining amount in a savings account, for future use.
