What did you spend your second transfer on?
35,000 KES was spent on my dowry payment ceremony. I spent 5,000 KES on land lease and 3,500 KES on tractor tilling. I paid 2,000 KES on school fees. And finally, I spent the remaining amount on utensils and water containers.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
I'm very excited because my dowry had been settled. It was humiliating for me not to have had my dowry paid as it attracted ridicule and mockery from village mates and family.
