Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
My husband passed on before he paid my dowry, this transfer enabled me to buy two cows and take to my parents i could not afford to do this on my own. I live with my orphaned grandchildren whose fees i paid without struggle and i am free from the debt i owed One Acre Fund. GD has taken me to higher level. I am happy and thankful.
