"I plan to spend my transfer on farming and educational costs. I will lease land from landlords because I do not own any piece of land and stay in a rented house. When I invest in farming, my family will have sufficient food and surplus sold for other needs commitments. I will also spend the transfer on paying school fees for my daughter who is in secondary school. We have been struggling to pay her fees. This will be a relief to us."
