"The new goal that I didn't have before I received the transfer is purchasing a motorcycle. This was not in my daily plans because I didn't had the money to buy it. Currently I have a motorcycle and I used it as a taxi business. This earns me an income to support my family."

"The moment I received my transfer, I knew that I will be able to accomplish the goals that I had, it was very early in the morning, I was still in bed when I was woken up by a loud ring tone, upon checking my phone, I saw a Mpesa notification, I was not expecting money from any showing that I had received money from anyone that morning, I was curious to know who had sent me money that early, upon confirming I realized that I had received money from GiveDirectly, I was so overwhelmed with joy, this was the best news that I had received in a long time."

"It was around 4pm while from a prayer meeting when I alighted from my motorcycle when I checked my phone and saw two new messages. On checking them out, one was KES55000 from GiveDirectly and I couldn't be happier. Immediately I looked for a tractor in order to plant maize the next day."

"I have a wife and two children who are about to start schooling. Currently I am a motorcycle taxi rider in the village, a job that earns me about KES 700 daily. Could have been good income for a villager, but I still have a loan to repay because I bought my motorcycle on credit. Getting this money would make it possible for me to also undertake other projects alongside like building a bigger house. I would love to have a separate room for my children so that I do not have to share a single room. I strongly feel this will mean privacy for me and freedom for my children."

"In 2021, September was my best month. Finally, I would own my motorcycle. The thought of being self-employed not having to hire someone else motorcycle was exciting. When I came home with it I could see the excitement also on my son's face and I quickly took him for a ride to celebrate the moment as father and son." (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)

"My husband has been using a bicycle to go to his work. Last month (December) he got a second hand motorcycle at a cost of KES 20000. This has helped him reach his places of work early and without getting axhausted. The asset we have in the family brought happiness to me."

"In the past months, I was sugguling and can't afford anything for my family. But after receiving this transfer from give directly, I was able to start a business that is now improving my life." (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)

"My goal is to build another house because I am from a large family and I know that my family can visit me anytime they want, since I don't have enough space to accommodate them in this my house, I have thought it wise to build a bigger house for the future. I also want to buy a motorcycle to do business with it because I know that it is a good business in my town and around the neighboring towns as well. If I own a motorcycle, it will take my goods to the market every market day which will also reduce my expenses when it comes to taking my goods to the market."
