I paid 40000 KES of my first lumpsum transfer secondary school fees for my 2 children and we extended our main house with 2 ft at total cost of 9725 KES.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
GD has liberated me from the heavy burden of school fees; I received the transfers when my children had been sent for school fees and they were just staying at home with me, however when I got it and cleared for them their school fees, everyone became happy and we are all living with happiness, the biggest difference in our daily lives.
