"This is my third day as a motorcycle rider, where I make at least KES 400 per day.  Until two days ago, I lacked a steady source of income to meet my family's basic needs, such as providing food and funding for my children's education. As a result, hunger becomes the primary concern in the household, followed by children being sent home from school to collect pending fees. So, I used KES 2,000 from the transfer to buy enough food to last at least a week after we went without food for nearly seven days earlier this month. I a m glad we have never gone to bed hungry since then. In addition, I cut the outstanding fee balance for my two children using the remaining amount, who have since continued to attend school without missing any classes."

I was shocked beyond words when I realized I had received my first transfer. I did not expect to receive such an amount of money on that day. My heart filled with joy knowing that it would help me in paying school fees for my children." (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)

"After four years of struggle to meet all my children's obligations in various schools and provide for my family of seven, I am glad that GiveDirectly came to our rescue. It made it easier for my elder son, who is soon sitting for his final examinations in secondary school, and also my daughter, who joined grade nine. I had KES 7000 arrears for the elder and also needed to pay KES 17000 admission fees for my daughter. This would not have been easier without the support that I am much grateful for. I also spent the remaining KES 30000 on sourcing the construction materials needed for erecting a new house for my sons. They had been moving out every night to their grandmother, where they had been sleeping in an old store since the limited space. I am looking forward to the start of the construction work set to pick up in a week." (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)
