What did you spend your second transfer on?
When I received my second transfer, I used a total of 21000 KES to construct a kitchen of 13 iron sheets for my family since I used to cook outside before thus facing a lot of challenges when it rains. I then used the rest to buy sand, a steel door and 9 bags of cement, all of which I will use to renovate my family house since it had started getting weak. The balance was spent on buying foodstuffs for my family and clearing school fees for my child in secondary school so that he is not sent home for the same.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that I paid school fees in time thus I had no stress seeing my child staying home due to lack of school fees when his peers are in school.
