"If there is one thing that makes me happy is seeing a lady with a job. Everytime I see female nurses it sparks the desire to see my girls in such positions one day. My ambition is to give them quality education and I will do the best to achieve my dreams. I will therefore use this transfer to purchase goats and a cow. This project will enable me to easily finance their education whenever I sell the produce. Besides I will replace my house's roof since it is leaking terribly."
