"I am a housewife and I have been yearning to start and run a business of our own within the village. Because we are living close to the main road, this triggered me to tap the opportunity and at the same time make me busy. This will supplement what my husband earns as income from the motorcycle taxi business. We intend to use approximately KES 30,000 of the transfer to start us off because we own the premise yet no one uses it. Therefore, receiving this money will mean having an alternative source of income and I feel elated for that." (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)

"I work as a driver on the Ganze-Kilifi route. My daily wage averages at KES 300 a day. With little savings here and there, I managed to start constructing a house so that I can settle my wife and two children. The far I have managed to come, I only require KES 20,000 to finish. An additional KES 10,000 will enable us to uninstall piped water at home. This water will be for use at home and commercial purposes. What remains after that, I will take a motorbike on hire purchase so that I can be self-employed. That way, I will spend more time with my family." (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)

"When I receive my recent transfer from Givedirectly, I used it to buy zinc with other materials for building of my house. The house my family and I are staying in for now is not conducive for comfort because it is not safe any more. I also bought two bags of rice for my family to be eating so they can look healthy than ever before because we have been with hungry stomachs for long time." (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)

"With my most recent transfer, I was able to buy zinc for the roofing of my house. I also bought rice to feed the workers that working on my house project and I'd also bought other building materials for the total completion of my house project. Thanks to GiveDirectly for the great help render to improve our lives economically and socially." (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)

"Receiving this money means quality education to my siblings. I have two siblings under my care. Both of them are in secondary school and have been struggling to pay for their school fees. I plan to use KES 50,000 clearing fees balance and pay two years upfront. For the remaining, I will buy a second-hand motorcycle worth KES 50,000 that will help me generate income daily to support my siblings."

"Before I started receiving payment from GiveDirectly, my boyfriend and I have been been finding it difficult to make ends meet. Even finding our daily meal was something hard to do. I have been desiring to even start a little business that could help to sustain us as family but I couldn't get my hands around that planned due to financial constrained. Happily, when I started receiving payment from GiveDirectly, my goal have been starting a business. For this reason I decided to buy motorcycle using all three of my transfers. Presently as we speak my boyfriend is now running the bike as means of transportation and this has created a great source of income for my family."
