What did you spend your second transfer on?
When I received my second transfe, I bought a steel door for my house that has made me feel secured both for my life and property at night and daytime. I used the remaining to construct a latrin which I believe will enable me prevent diseases like cholera.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference I have in my life is improved human dignity. Initially I used to share other people's latrines which made me feel uncomfortable and undermined. Thanks to Givedirectly for such a support and may God help them to support others like me.
