"Being an old woman I believe receiving this money will help me buy some fertilizers for the next growing season and again I intend to build a more good looking house as the one I currently live in is old. Again I want to use the money to buy food since I did not harvest enough food during the last harvest season due to lack of money for fertilizer for my maize garden which affected my maize yields"
