"My plan is to buy a motorcycle for commercial purpose that will help me with my children school fees and other related business"

"My plan is to engage in a motorcycle business that will help me to grow into a commercial motorcycle business"

"I have a new goal of starting a business. That business will require that I buy a motorcycle for transporting goods to various market places and thus reducing the cost of transport and making my business more profitable. I intend to run a retail shop where I will be selling jua cali good. As for the motorcycle, I am optimistic that the amount of money I spent in farming shall nable me make income enough to even buy a second hand motorcycle. Once I have accumulated enough money to buy a motorcycle then I will be able to start small and advance my business going forward."

"When hen my husband was employed as a motorbike rider,he used to earn a very low commission of 200 KES a day. our dream was to buy a motorcycle so that we can earn a meaningful income. I also had plans to start a salon business but all these dreams seemed to be slipping far away because we couldn't afford to raise enough capital to fulfill our dreams. Receiving this money meant that we were a about to start fulfilling our dreams. I spend 10000 KES to clear balance of land that I was buying, 30000 KES to buy a second hand motorbike and the balance to open a salon business. I thank GiveDirectly for making this happen."

"The work done by Give Directly has led to the great transformation of many households including mine. Life would not have been any better without the cash transfers. I never believed that I would ever own motorcycle and rental shops but now I have them. The power we were given of deciding on how to spend our money coupled with the information given to us during the enrollment process motivated people to wisely spend their money. On the other hand, there is nothing the organization is not doing good."

"As for me GiveDirectly did well, I received all of my money. The only thing that brought bad feeling to me was GiveDirectly people do not eat from us neither drink water from us which brought some level of bad feelings. But I later on understood the reason."

"I have a new goal which I started with, I withdrew some portion of my money and started buying coconut to sell which I am doing now. I was doing this before but with a little money but now I am buying in huge quantity with the cash transfer I received." (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)

"After spending both my transfers on all the plans that I had, I am grateful for the changes that the transfer has brought in my household.I currently have a goal of opening a salon bysiness for my wife so that she can have a central place rather than going house to house to plate hair.Am currently doing motorcycle business and saving towards making my wife's dream come through."

"Some of my major challenges is money. Currently, I am saying in my older brother house. When I am opportune, I will ensure that I build my house but the issue of money is a major challenge to me." (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)

"We spent KES 37000 of our recent transfer on building another bigger house. The house that we have been living in, is small and grass-thatched. There is hence no space for welcoming guests visiting our household. It has always been our wish to build one. We were just not able to fulfill this dream because we didn't have the large sum of money needed. I usually depend on casual jobs to earn a living while my husband is a motorcycle taxi driver. The money that we get most of it usually goes to the purchase of food and payment of merry-go-round contributions. The money that we receive from the merry-go-round group when it reaches our turn usually helps us in repaying the motorcycle since we took it on loan. We also usually use part of it in buying food and paying school fees for our children. Other than building a house, we also bought a bag of maize for our consumption and we used another KES 5000 on repaying the motorcycle loan. We usually pay KES 2500 every week for the loan. We also used KES 2000 of the transfer money on paying school fees for our children. With the remaining amount, we bought a few items that were missing in the house, that is, a table, 2 chairs, some blankets, and clothes for the children. We are hence so much grateful to GiveDirectly for their support." (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)
