What did you spend your second transfer on?
I added some of my savings onto my second transfer and bought a piece of land 55,000 KES which I am planning to put up my homestead on it.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that I have acquired a piece of land that I have been longing for in a long time now hence I am hoping to putting up my homestead on it hence living in rental house and having arguments with the landlord if we haven't paid rent will seize to be a worry anymore, as I would have resorted to a cost- effective project. Thanks to GiveDirectly.
