"Firstly, we intend to use part of the transfer to buy two cows that would provide us with milk, and also sell the surplus to the villagers for an income to the family. Secondly, we plan to use another part of the transfer to extend this our house, because it is small. Lastly, we plan to use the remaining amount to start a small business of selling chickens to the villagers."
