"I prioritize like that because my rural home is a flood zone and I don't have a permanent house. So if I get this transfer I will first go and build a permanent house that is flood resistance so that even during floods am comfortable and safe. Secondly, I will invest more money in my business of tailoring so that I can have more profit and stable income to sustain myself and my family. Lastly, I will also send my parents back at home some money to support themselves and for food."
