I'm planning to use 450 dollars from the donation to buy three indeginous dairy cows at a cost of 150 dollars each. The milk will be useful both for domestic consumption and for sale. Furthermore I'll use 200 dollars to renovate my house which is currently in bad condition."

"I have desired to own an iron-roofed house for myself because the one I currently have is grass thatched and old fashioned. During rain seasons, I am rained on and this does not give me nice sleep. My plan once I receive the money is to spend $300 to construct the house something that will give me peace of mind. Also, I am planning to spend $150 to buy a modern bed plus a mattress to replace the local roped one that I have been using for a long time. This will change my life for the better, a transformation that I have always wished to have."
