I paid 20,000 KES as school fees ( secondary school) for my child, I bought 15 bags of cement at 11,250 KES and sand worth 10,000 KES and paid the 'fundi' 7,000 KES as labour to repair the walls and plaster the floor of my house.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
I had my fears that my child would not be able to complete secondary school due to lack of school fees, but he has been able to consistently go to school and I've been spared of any shame in the community. Moreover, I have managed to repair my house( strengthen the walls) so am not worried about rain destroying the walls.
