Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that I have water in the home, I am able to save time and spend it on other activities. My joy is in the fact that I no longer spend 60 minutes walking to bring home only 20 litres of water and suffering chest pains afterwards, which was my life before GD came into my village.Two I had a very small house before but currently my new house is spacious and comfortable, thank you GD for making all these possible.
