I spent my second transfer on cementing the floor of my house at 25,000 KES, paid 12,000 KES school fee for my two children then used the rest of the cash to buy materials which I want to use on renovating the walls of my house.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that my children have never been sent out of school due to school fee since I started getting GD transfers. My house is also very presentable and I waste energy and resources on renovating the floor every so often as before.
