"Receiving this money makes me feel great because it will help me achieve my plans I had like building a larger house because the one I am in now is too small, to buy a cow and to pay school fees for my two children I got out of wedlock because I am in a polygamous marriage and at times it becomes very difficult to share what my husband gets in a day with my co-wife."
