What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent 20,000 KES to pay school fees (secondary school) for two of my children. The remaining 30,000 KES will be used to pay college fees for another child.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
I have been able to pay school fees for my children whom I would otherwise be staying at home with and not knowing what to do with them if had not received the transfers from GD. This has been my biggest difference since GD visited me.
