What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent 48000 Kes of my second transfer on purchasing a water tank, gutters and transportation. I then spent the rest of the money on food.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that I now own a water tank which helps in collecting rainy water and since water has always been a problem in my area because this area is almost a semi-arid area. I do not have to hustle for water from stream to stream any more since am sure that my family will always have enough water us as long as it rains. The time I used to waste looking for water I can then spend doing other constructive activities.
