"My first plan is to use part of the transfer to build a bigger mud house with three rooms and metal roof, because this one is small. Secondly, I plan to use another part of the transfer to buy six bulls, that I plan to use to plough our farms. Lastly, I plan to use the remaining amount to start a local poultry-keeping project, by buying twenty local chickens."
