Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
GD came into my life at a time when life was difficult, my child was meant to join high school and i had no money but the transfer helped me enroll and pay her school fees. I had no job but i managed to start sewing and now i can earn a daily income and even save. Supply of food is now consistent in my household. GD has also supported me towards my plans to acquire a piece of land, i am so thankful.
