We spent 30,000 KES to buy iron sheets, nails and poles as part of construction materials, paid school fees for 15,000 KES for my sister in secondary school, spent 3,000 KES to start an eggs selling business and the rest was spent on buying food.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
We have already bought some materials to use in construction of our house and we are certain that once we receive the last transfer we will be able to construct a much bigger house with better roofing and the business I started enable me to get some daily income.
