"I am glad to be enrolled in the project. As you can see, the floor of my house is made of sand and it does not have durable window frames. I plan to use the money to buy bags of cement which I will use to make a new floor. I will also buy window frames. On top of that, I will buy maize because I don't have enough maize to last till the next harvesting season. I will also invest the money in farming during the coming farming season. Lastly, I will buy a matress because I need to be sleeping on a comfortable place."
