"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."

"My most recent transfer has been saved, I want to buy a motorcycle to run it as business because I think it will generate more profit for me, that is why I have added my second transfer to the first one to buy a motorcycle. Since the total amount to purchase the motorcycle has not been completed, I am waiting for the next transfer to complete it so that I can purchase the motorcycle."

"It was around 9pm when I heard a message notification from my phone. I reluctantly check it out. When I checked it out I couldn't believe my eyes, it was a message confirming that I have received money from GiveDirectly. I felt so happy because I have never received such amount of money before. I immediately inform my family members, everyone celebrated the good news. It was one of our best nights. We plan on how to spend it. I withdrew the money the following day."

""My house is not in good condition, so when I receive my transfer from GiveDirectly, I will use portion of it to reconditioned my house and use the remaining one to invest in a business that could serve as a source of income to cater to my needs"." (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)

"GiveDirectly, in my opinion, is doing everything well. It has elevated the lives of so many of us around here. The living standards of so many of us were improved, those who didn't have better houses were able get them, those who had houses were able to put up businesses especially motorcycle taxi which is a sign of progressive development of this area. We are so grateful to GiveDirectly and and I personally don't see anything that it didn't do right or needs to change."

"We live in a single-roomed house that serves as the kitchen, sitting room, and bedroom for my family of three. The house has a grass-thatched roof that looks shaggy. We have been struggling in vain to build a bigger and better house. As such, our self-esteem shall be restored upon receipt of this money. This is because we shall afford to improve our house. Eventually, we will be happy to receive visitors and enjoy residing in a decent and spacious house." (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)

"The biggest difference in my daily life since I started receiving the transfers is owning a heifer which I had desired for the past four years but couldn't afford.Household expenditure costs have also reduced since I received the transfers because I bought food in bulk which I couldn't afford before from my motorcycle taxi job."

Everyone in the town was happy too because we were helped so greatly to better our lives. I just want to take this time to say thank you to Givedirectly for the future given to me and my family."
