"My first plan is to use part of the transfer to build a bigger house, because this one is small. Secondly, I plan to use another part of the transfer to dig a borehole, where I can get water for family use. Lastly, I plan to use the remaining amount to fence my compound, for security purposes, since I'm living along the way."
