When I got my first lumpsum payment, I channeled 45000 KES in building a semi-permanent house of 30 iron sheets and I spent the remaining 5000 KES on food.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
Thanks to GD for bringing a difference in my life. I remember there was a time I lost my son and when my friends came to console me, I did not manage to accommodate them well since the room was too small to accommodate more than 3 people, however GD enabled me to have a bigger room and I am now confident that it can accommodate my visitors.
