"I have longed to build a house that will accommodate our family of four children, with all the plans I had I have not been able to achieve it. My husband is also the breadwinner of the family as I am jobless, he is also depended on by his parents leaving him with nothing to save on a house construction project. Receiving this money means I will immediately build a house for my family." (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)

"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."

"Upon cashing out my money, I bought four bags of cement, did payment of my son's school fees and save the balance money to transport my cement." (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)

"In my opinion , Give directly does well by giving us the cash through MPESA other than buying things and delivering as promised. This gave everyone a chance to spend the money in acquiring what they needed." (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)

""The biggest hardship I am face with now is lack of finance. I am a motorcyclist who is riding for a relative. The compensation I receive per week is not enough to cater to my household needs"." (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)

"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"
