I built an iron-roofed house of 25 iron sheets at 35000 KES, spent 6000 KES on secondary school fees for my son, and the remaining amount on food and clothing for my household.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
Before I got to know GD, I was living in a house of 5 iron sheets. This was poorly ventilated with little space to accommodate my family and therefore it has enabled me to live in a better house with my family.
