Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is having managed to build a pit latrine that will help improve the sanitation of my home. Prior to building this latrine through the transfer I got, I used to go to other peoples home to ease myself and at times dig a hole to use just with in the compound. When it rained, it always felt filthy seeing my children's waste flowing all over. This made my family always sick.
