I bought 25 iron sheets at 20,000 KES, I sent 15,000 KES to my brother to meet some expenses. I have saved 10,000 KES for future use and the rest was spent on daily house hold expenses.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference to me is that am now going to be in my own home, since my husband has been incapacitated for quite a long time. We are going to be able to construct a new house and therefore we will be at peace.
