Yes, my new goal is to buy a motorcycle which I will use to earn a living. After my motorcycle broke down and failed completely, it rendered me jobless. Once I receive the transfer, I will top up the money, buy a new motorcycle and later on pay the debts I owe.

I love the fact that the unconditional tranafers we got from the organisations uplifted our lives. I was very stressed and had no way out to solving the complex problems I had. Thanks to the funds I am able to feed my family and clear debts I owed.

Prior to receiving the unconditional transfers from the organisation, I was going through a tough time. I earn a living as a motorcycle taxi " Boda Boda". I owed the company where I bought the motorcycle a huge some of money. Few months after buying the motorcycle, the engine failed due to mechanical problems. My efforts to repair the engine bore no fruits as the mechanics told me I must buy a new one which is very expensive amounting to KES 55000. This was the beginning of my problems as I could not raise the KES 11000 monthly amount to pay for the motorcycle because I no longer had a job. Therefore when I received my transfer, I spent a huge portion KES 45000 plus some additional transfers and bought a new motorcycle. I am happy that I have a job and working hard to cater to the family's needs (food, school fees and medical attention) as well as raise money to clear the debt I owe the motorcycle company.

I am a motorcycle rider so I was ferrying my client to a certain destination when I heard a message notification from my phone. Since I was nearby the destination, I thought to myself why not just wait to get to the destination and check what the message was all about. In arrival, I confirmed that it was the transfers message and I was so happy to have received the transfers.

I have a two bedroom house not and this means that I can enjoy privacy compered to previously when I was sharing a single room which my children. My business has also picked up well again and I am in a better place financially.

I had a single room and that's where I had been staying with my wife and three children. The space was very small and there was no privacy and all I needed was to add some more rooms so that we can have enough space as a family. I had managed to put up a structure of two rooms but I was not able to roof it because of financial constraints so receiving the transfers was a good opportunity for me to put up the roof. I spend KES 30000 to do roofing. My motorbike needed a repair and I didn't have money because I had used the one which I had saved to pay school fees for my children. I spend KES 5000 to do the repair. I also spent KES 20000 to add more stock to my charcoal selling business which was not doing well. I'm happy that I now have enough space for my family and im grateful to GiveDirectly for the support.
