What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent 20000 KES of my second transfer on paying school fee for my two daughters in secondary school. I paid tithe of 5000 KES. I bought bedding, gas cooker and used some money on boosting my business. I also paid debts and used some on buying food.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
My life has improved because I can afford cooking using a gas which is faster and not hectic. I also sleep in comfortable bedding unlike before that I used to sleep on the ground. My children too now have ample time doing their studies without being sent back home for school fee.
