I spent my first transfer on extending my house for 18,000 KES, expanding my banana sucker business for 8,000 KES, school fee for 20,000 KES, and dry maize for 4,000 KES
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that I have a source of income through my banana planting project which will start supporting this family very soon, and also I used to struggle with school fee, but GD made it possible to have an easier time time this term and at least my children were not sent away, thank you.
