What did you spend your second transfer on?
I have built a kitchen of 45 iron sheets. I decided to construct it since cooking in the open was posing a challenge to me especially during rainy season. I thought it could be prudent too to have it as a bedroom for my children-they were above 18 yrs and sharing with them the same room was shaming us-we could be deprived of our privacy.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference I can mention in my daily life after receiving transfers from Give Directly can be mentioned in terms of the new sanitation we have acquired. We no longer cook in the open since we had acquired a kitchen and therefore we no longer live in fear of contacting cholera outbreak.
