I sell milled corn husks and run a fast food joint, both businesses need intense supervision hence the neccessity for me to have stable transportation. I also bought a mattress for my children, clothes for every family member, food, a bed, and wood that will be used later on in the year to construct another house."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I am now a proud owner of two dairy cows. I will achieve most of my goals from the dairy cows, first I will be getting milk for my children and sell the remaining few liters to the local markets and to my neighbors as well. initially, it was so difficult for me to take milk since it was costly and very rare to get them since there were few people owning to dairy cows in my village because of poverty. To add to that, the money that I will be getting from the sale of milk will boost my standards of living because I am planning to start a business from the sale of the milk. This will be my additional income making me wealthier within a short period of time since both of these businesses are so lucrative."
