We spent 22,000 KES to buy two cows that were used to pay my bride price, bought windows and window panes for 10,000 KES, fissure board for 10,000 KES and the rest was spent on buying food and other daily HH expenses.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The payment of my bride price has been the biggest difference in my life, since we did not know how this was going to be possible. We can now concentrate on other things with peace.
