What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
Our first plan is to use part of the transfer to build a bigger house, because this one is small, and is in a bad condition. Secondly, we intend to use another part of the transfer to buy two sheep, as an investment for our family. Lastly, we plan to use the remaining amount to plough our farm, where we plan to grow maize, for food security.
