“2023 ndio hii sasa tumefungua savings box. Nilijaribu hii 1k challenge na sasa nimesave KSh365,000. Next year tuanze pamoja. Ukipata 50, 100, 500 weka ikifika December tuvunje mabox tupige sherehe. Kwa sasa tunashusha nyavu.
(2023 is now here we have opened the savings box. I tried this 1k challenge and now I have saved KSh365,000. Next year let’s start together. If you get 50, 100, 500, let’s break the boxes and have a party in December. We are currently lowering the nets.)” Mulamwah said.
