""Receiving this money means a stead source for me and my family. Since I have wished to have a long term investment. I am planning to spend 50,000 shillings to purchase 2 ingenious dairy cows that will supply me with milk for domestic use and sale. With this I will have a stead income for my family of 3 members.The income I will be getting from the sale of milk is going to help me cater to my family's basics needs such as food. Also, I will spend the remaining part of the transfer to repair my mud-walled house.""
