"I am planning to buy materials which will be used to build a better house for my family and buy some livestock like cows, goats and sheep. I also intend to revive my former business, I used to buy fish from the lake at wholesale prices and later retail the fish at our local market, but my business failed, I therefore intend to use part of the transfers as capital in order to revive the business."
