What did you spend your first transfer on?
I spent most of my transfer to pay school fees for my children at 6,000 KES. I bought 15 tins of maize for my family's consumption and the remaining 2,000 KES, I have been spending on daily expenditures in my house.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
My phone was off when the money was sent. When I switched the phone on, saw the message I immediately told my spouse. We were very happy because my children's school fees was catered for and also my children will get food to eat. Thank you GD.
