I paid college school fees for my 3 children using 35000 KES of my first lumpsum transfer and I used the remaining 15000 KES for buying daily household items like food.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
I never had a good income and therefore I was living in a more stressful life since I could not even afford even to keep my children in school but since I have been receiving transfers from GD, I have been able to keep them in school something that has redeemed my credit and respect as a father.
