Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
I no longer buy paraffin for lighting because i have electricity in my compound which i also use for charging my phone and security light, my compound is now bright. This transfer came in two days after my wife was admitted in hospital so i was able to cater for the bill. I am so happy and thankful how i wish it was more, i would have done a lot of development with it.
