"I prioritize like that because I would love to start a new business of selling cereals since I have seen people getting good profit from it and I will have stable income and support my family. Secondly I will start agribusiness since with food it's sureity. Food is important since I can use some to eat at home while I sell the rest. Lastly I will also pay rent with the remaining amount so that for some few months I can have piece of mind. "

"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."
