What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means that I will be able to renovate my house. My current house has a broken roof and holes at some points of the wall and floor. This is endangering my life since it may fall any time so I sleep each night with fear. When I renovate this house properly by plastering the wall, cementing it's floor and replacing the broken timbers , my house will take many years.
