I gave 20,000 KES to my husband to start a bar business, bought a cow at 15,000 KES, utensils at 5,000 KES, paid 5,000 KES school fee for my brother in high school then used the rest on food and little house items.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
I now have something that legally belong to me that I can reach at when I have a problem and I also have my own utensils so I no longer borrow.
