How is your life currently different from how it was four months ago?
My life is currently different from how it was four months ago because I am no longer in pain as I used to be before. I also have a pit latrine, I do not go to the bush as I used to be since it is very risky and don't also get embarrassed when I have visitors because I have a very good latrine.
Do you have any new or additional goals for your life for the next four months?
In the next four months I am planning to plaster the bit latrine that I built, to making it stronger than it is now to a void it's falling down that my course rebuilding it.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life in the last four months preceding the current transfer.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that l now have a pit latrine that I can now go to, as compared to before when I would go to the bush which is very risky, this also will stop the spreading of airborne diseases such as cholera in the village. I now have a better health after seeking medication using give directly's money and i can now do my duties well without depending on people.
How do you expect your life to change in the next six months?
In the next six months l expect to have plastered the pit latrine that I had built to make it more stronger. I also expect to stay healthier since I got good medication through give directly support.
