I spent the second transfer on buying a cow @ 15,000KES, and paid 5,000KES school fees. We needed a source of income because wew are both unemployed so my husband used the remaining 30,000KES as capital to start a fish retail business.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
Ever since we started the fish business we have not been worrying about household expenditure because we now have a reliable income, I feel relaxed.
