I paid school fee balance of 25,000 KES for my child in secondary school, I also bought 25 iron sheets for 19,000 KES as part of materials to construct my house and I also bought a bag of dry maize for 1,500 KES.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
I have been able to off set much of the school fees balance that my child had and now am quite relieved that he can consistently attend classes.

What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
