"Receiving the money means a good house for my family. I would buy iron sheets and burnt bricks so that it should have a strong foundation. It would also help me to buy livestock such as chicken. Before my house was damaged I used to raise chickens and sell them after but they all died with the rains."

"Receiving this money to me means that I will be able to repair my house that got destroyed during the Cyclone Anna. Right now I will make a plan depending on the money that I get and see how far it can take me to rebuild the house. Ofcourse I really wanted to just redo the whole house but it looks like I won't be able to due to the amount of funds but I will at least manage a greater part."
