What did you spend your second transfer on?
I have only spent 5,000 KES of the second transfer on sinking a pit that'll use to erect a latrine. This is because I only discovered that the second transfer had been sent today.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that am now very optimistic of having the things I couldn't have on my own without GiveDirectly's intervention.

The happiest part of our day is when we are doing our daily farm work as a family since we know that is where we get our food.
