"This money has changed my life in that i managed to buy farm inputs and this year i expect a bumper yield. I even hired wage labourers to work in my garden. This year i expect a bumper yield because for the first time in many years, i have been able to buy enough fertilizers and seeds for my farming. This year also, i will be able to live in a well constructed house which does not leak. It is an honor."
