What did you spend your third transfer on?
I did spend my transfer to purchase a sofa set that costed me 8500 KES, two bags of maize at 12,000 KES. I as well bought three goats at 13,500 KES. I had a fee arrears in school hence was never given my form four certificate but I was able to pay the arrears that was 5,000 KES. The remaining amount was spent in my household expenses. I can courageously say that GD has impacted in my life greatly.
