I now have money to take care of my family's needs as well as paying school fees for my children which in the past was not such an easy thing to handle considering the amount of money that I used to make per day. Working as self-employed personnel is so satisfying because I do not have to take orders and restrictions from anyone the way it used to happen in the past.

The organization changes peoples lives because once the recipients get the unconditional transfers, they buy what they lacked the most or alternatively they use the money to pay school fees for their children and other things they could not afford

I spent the cash on buying a motorbike which I needed so much because it will be of help in my motorcycle business which I have been running for more than ten years. I was initially employed by someone whom I used to pay some returns at the end of each day but I no longer need to do that anymore because I am currently self-employed.

The biggest difference is that I was previously employed by a neighbour who gave me her motorcycle to operate for taxi services which could not earn me adequate income for meeting my family's basic need. Through the transfer, I was able to purchase my own motorbike and is currently getting a good income from it. Owning this motorbike is the biggest daily difference in my life.

I felt very happy now that the transfer would enable me to purchase my own motorbike and to provide taxi services and earn an income.

I was given a motorbike by my neighbour who had employed me to provide bodaboda services in our area and to give him a return daily. At times this was cumbersome and the money would not be enough to take home, I had planned to have my own but due to the shortage of finances, my plans could not work out. I thank GiveDirectly for they have fulfilled my desire and through the transfer, I acquired a motorbike and now I am operating and fully benefitting from it's returns.
