"Our first plan is to use part of the transfer to build a new house because the current one is in a bad status as it is cracked almost everywhere . Secondly, we plan to use another part of the transfer to buy a cow that would provide us with milk to use in the house and also to sell to the villagers to earn some income. Lastly, we intend to use the remaining amount in processing a title deed for our piece of land which we also plan to put under maize growing. "
