My wife is a house wife. In the coming years and beyond, I will open for her a groceries shop, which its profits will help us with the family upkeep and for educating our children who are still in Primary SChool. Once the business picks up, I will buy more cows for farming and for producing milk for sale and consumption.

In my opinion, what GiveDirectly does well in this program is that we receive the transfers in lumpsum amounts. This helps in planning as one is in a position to do something huge as compared to when the transfers are given in small instalments. Another thing that GiveDirectly does well is that the unlearned recipients are taught how to use mpesa. This has reduced the number of theft cases in the community as most of us managed to change our pins to a more secure code. What needs to be done differently is enrolling all the individuals in the household to avoid household conflict. During enrollment, those individuals who did not have responsibilities by then were left out of the program yet these are the same people who steal from their old and vulnerable parents. Another thing that needs to be done differently is enrolling all the communities in a specific village for uniformity purposes and this will prevent too many complaints coming from the communities that are left out during the registration to the programs.

I do small business of delivering items to the clients. Mostly I hire motorcycle which is quite expensive by the end of the day. I used the whole of the transfers of 51,350 to buy a motorcycle for the deliveries.Since I bought the motorcycle, I can now reach a higher number of my clients and this has increased the profits yield from the business.

I learned in the morning that I had received money from GiveDirectly the previous night, this is because the message notification came late at night when we were all asleep. it was the best news that morning, When I told my wife about the money, she was equally happy, this is because we had plans in place on how we were going to spend our money, thus we knew that God had answered our prayers because everything was going as we had planned.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that I have been able to save up money from my motorcycle business, which I then used in starting a goat rearing project, I can confidently say that the future looks bright for us, this is because I will be able to save up money for my children's education with nothing to worry about, I am so grateful for the opportunity that brought so much joy and happiness in our lives.

I work as a Boda Boda rider, though I never had my motorbike, this is because I never had enough money because what I earn daily is only enough to feed the family and other basic needs only, instead I used to work on a rented motorcycle, therefore, my wife and I had agreed that I used my first transfer in buying a second-hand motorcycle so that we can at least have a reliable source of income, thus I used KES 40,000, I then used the remaining part of the money in buying foodstuffs and clothes.
