What did you spend your second transfer on?
I paid school fees for my three children in secondary school for 30,000 KES, I bought 15 iron sheets at 10,000 KES, I paid school levies for children in primary school for 5,000 KES and the rest has been spent on daily household expenses.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
Since I received the transfers and paid school fees for my children, I have been relieved from begging for money from various people to send them back to school. This has helped me channel my time into doing productive activities.
