My life is different than it would have been if I never received the transfer in that, I would still be working for someone. I am glad that GiveDirectly gave me my transfer which I was able to use in starting my own business. I operate a motorcycle where I get more profits which have made it smoothly for me to easily cater for my needs. Before the transfer, life was difficult because the little that I got could not be enough to sustain my family members. Most of the time we could quarrel with my wife when I could honestly tell her that I had no money. Our relationship was generally not good because most of the time I could not provide for my family as expected and my wife could be bitter about it. I thank GiveDirectly very much. Since I started my own business, I have not had my wife complaining about giving her less money or nothing at all.

In my opinion, the idea of giving people unconditional transfers a good idea. We have the freedom to buy whatever we want and invest however we wish. I can actually say that everyone's lives in our village have improved within a short period of time.

I topped up 20000 KES from the first transfer and added it to the whole of my second amount. With a dream of owning my own morotcycle, this money was good enough. I decided to look for a second-hand motorcycle which was still in good condition. In my life, I had had been yearning to have my own business but this dream could not be actualized because of lack of money. I thank GiveDirectly very much for actualizing this dream. I do not have to work for someone where I get a few coins which had not for a long time been able to sustain my family. Today, I feel very happy because we do not argue with my wife over money issue since the profits that I get from the business has been enough unlike before.

The biggest difference is that I was once jobless and now at least earning income from the taxi business for through the transfer, I was able to acquire a motorbike to provide taxi services which is now a source of income to me.

I received the notification early in the morning as I was getting ready for my daily activities. I was filled with joy in my heart on the thought that I would soon acquire a motorcycle. I was very happy to receive the money from GiveDirectly.

I spent part of my first transfer on buying a second-hand motorcycle since I was jobless. I paid the full price and at least now I am now self-employed. I am earning income daily from the services I am offering to people. I spent the remaining amount on replacing my beddings since they were old and worn out such that I could not enjoy a comfortable sleep at all. I also replaced my old door which was broken due to ageing. I bought a new one and fixed it, and now my house has a good new look.
