What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
Our first plan is to spend part of the transfer to buy furniture and utensils. Our second plan is to use another part of the transfer to buy a cow that in future would provide us with milk some of which we would sell to the villagers to earn some income. Lastly, we intend to use the remaining amount to start a second hand clothes selling business.
