"I brought a motorcycle to sustain my family when Givedirectly shall have left my community. Thanks to Givedirectly for making me to own a business." (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)

"I spent most of my recent transfer money on building a house that we had started building before, but we had left it pending for about a year due to a lack of money. We built a big permanent house and hence it has costed us a lot of building materials. We bought 32 iron sheets at KES 930 per iron sheet. We also bought trees that we cut them for timber for constructing the house. We decided to construct another house because the ones that we are currently living in are made of mud. Getting mud for mudding the houses has become a big challenge since it is no longer easily available. We hence usually buy it. I have a small business selling vegetables and milk while my husband is doing the motorcycle taxi business. The money that we get from our hustles most of it usually goes to the purchase of food, some household needs, and paying for the merry-go-round contributions in the self-help groups that we have joined. We also paid KES 8000 as a deposit for the doors so that the carpenter could make them, and another KES 3200 we spent on buying a bag of maize for our consumption. We are hence grateful to GiveDirectly for everything."

"The major challenge in the home is for us to complete our building project. The project is incomplete. There is no floor. We sleep in the dusty house. I really want to make my house conducive for my family." (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)

"I used my money to purchase a brand new motorcycle. Portions of it were used to buy my remaining materials for the completion of my project."

"I bought additional materials to complete my house. I also used some of my money to buy food for my parents. The balance money will be use to pay for the workmanship. Am bless to be part of this program." (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)

"It was a few minutes to 4 pm when I heard a message alert on my phone and at the same time, the client I was carrying informed me that there were rumors that GiveDirectly had started sending the promised money to people. As my norm, I did not bother with the message since I do not like using my phone while driving since I am a motorcycle rider. I became so happy the moment I read its contents after dropping my client at his destination. Since my spouse does not have a phone that I would have used to communicate with her, I continued with my work jovially as I waited patiently till I get home so that I would share the good news with my family."

"My plan was to buy my owned motorbike, but I never had money to do so. I'm a farmer, my income was very low to accomplish my plan, to even get food to eat used to be very difficult for me some days. But with the help from givedirectly, my dream has come to passed. I'm now a motorcycle owner, my husband now running our bike. I'm so thankful to God because every week my husband brings 7 to 8 thousand Liberian dollars, I'm so happy, mu life has changed for the better."

"I bought three bundles of zinc. I also bought gas and bought wood to pay the house.i am grateful to God for the program." (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)

"In the last 4 months, my husband managed to get a part-time job as a motorcycle taxi rider and that brought joy to our life. He was able to earn an average income of KES 500 a day. As a result, we managed to reduce the school arrears of our daughter who is in secondary level from KES 54,000 to KES 6,500."
