"Receiving this money will solve one of my biggest worry; having a more spacious house. With my spouse and my two children, my current one small bedroom house is not fit for us. Furthermore, there is need for privacy now that my first born just turned five years old. My budget for the house is 50,000 KES." (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)

"Receiving this money means a better life for me and my grandchildren. Currently I am doing a business of selling firewood and milk within the village. I started this 4 months ago after loosing my husband who was a bread winner in the family. From this business I earn an average of KES1500 in a week. My age currently cannot allow me to walk a long distance in order to meet my customers at their household level. I had an ambition of buying a new motorcycle and hire someone to assist me in supplying. I am happy that this transfers from Givedirectly has come in handy to my ambition. My plans therefore is to purchase a new motorcycle at a cost of KES 100,000."

"My plan was to buy a motorcycle, but I never had the money to accomplish my plan. I will have to cut Palm for people the whole day just to get money. But when I started receiving money from givedirectly my life has changed, I'm now a motorcycle owner, and running my owned business with motorbike. Many thanks to Givedirectly for their support."

"My goal is to buy a motorcycle and run it as a business, since I graduated from high school, I have not been able to go to college to aquire higher education because of lack of money, I have three children now and I need to keep supporting them in school. I believe that if I do the business, it will generate more money to support my family, motorcycle business is one of the leading business in our town right now."

"My new goal is to build my own house, I have been living in my father's house from childhood until now I am 37 years old. I have three children that need to inherit something from me as well, that is why I want to build my own house. To make this happen, I am waiting for my remaining two transfers from GiveDirectly so that I can buy a motorcycle and run it as a business, by that, I can generate more money for my house project and other family expenses."

"On receiving the second transfer, I spent Ksh.26,000 in buying material we used in improving the floor of my old house. I am happy that my house floor is no longer dusty. I also used Kshs.16,000 in clearing school fees arrears and also paying tuition fees for the entire term for my children in school. They are all studying well without being sent home. With the remaining amount, I used it in buying household items that we didn't have." (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)

""I am a motorcyclist and I am riding for a relative. I usually report 1000.00LD daily which is very strenuous, so when I receive my transfer from GiveDirectly, I will use portion of it to buy a motorbike and use the remaining one to invest in a business that could serve as a source of income to cater to my household needs"."

"My plan and thinking have been how my child to continue with his school since I am not doing anything to support him yearly in school and second my husband have not been working to support us in the home and through Givedirect,he is ridding motorcycle to support his home again"

"I am a housewife and a mother of eight. My husband who is the primary earner is a motorcycle taxi rider and he's commission on daily basis. Supporting a family of 10 has never been an easy journey for him because we have 5 kids in school and he has to provide for other basic necessities. Last year, we were worried because our eldest son is a candidate and will be graduating from primary school in months time and we didn't know where we'll get the money to take him to high school. Being enrolled in the program was a dream come true because we are very hopeful that our son will have a chance to join high school. When I received my first transfer, I had fees arrears of KES 3000 to clear and there was no food at home. I had to pay KES 2000 so that my son would stay in school and have ample time to revise for his exams and spend the balance of KES 1000 to buy food, soap and other necessities. I'm grateful to GiveDirectly for the support they have given me so far."
