"I spent my recent transfer to buy a Motorcycle for business."

"It was 6.45pm in the evening and I was on my way home from work when I received the text message confirming that I had received the money from GiveDirectly. I was so grateful when I got the money because I knew that my dreams would be fulfilled especially in purchasing the land that was in a place with access to the facilities I have always desired to be close to. These facilities include, water, shops, good and accessible road as well as electricity. I wanted to get this land because I have been living in a far remote area which is hardly accessible even by a motorcycle and I had no ability since my job as a gardener in a private farm earns me a very little income which mostly caters for my family's daily immediate needs and pay for my children's school fees. Therefore, I was so grateful when I received this money from GiveDirectly because it brought my dreams to life."

Although I could only acquire a second hand motorcycle, I am happy because I can always raise KES 300 from it on a daily basis. Nowadays, I find it easy to comfortably support my family."
