"I earlier planned to have bought a motorcycle before the money came from Givedirect"

""If I am bless to receive cash transfer from Givedirectly, I intend to pay for my children school fees and use the remaining to start a business. Even though I do contract to make money to support my children in school and buy food for the family, but the money I get is not enough to give them the real education. Right now one of the children is attending in Gbaweleken Town school called Demonstration, while the other two are in Fish Town attending school, but the school fees has gone up because of the hard time. So, it not easy to get money now from the contracts I do. If Givedirectly give me any help, it will help me educate my children well"." (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)

"The biggest difference in my life is that I now own a motorcycle, which enables me to move around efficiently in search of work. I am an electrician who needs to move around frequently. However, I could not afford to buy one because I only earn about KES 600 per task, if I'm lucky to get work. I was so happy to receive the transfer which enabled me to pay off the motorbike. I can now earn money and spend it on meeting my family's needs, and not on paying off debt."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is am relax. Since I got Givedirectly transfer, my life has totally changed. Many days i cry and brokedown in tears because of the challenges. My husband has suffered so much. He was riding bike for work and pay when he fell sick at the point we couldn't afford even hospital bills. We have been struggling to provide our daily needs. At times i personally when through fasting and praying. Until our prayers was finally answered. I'm now happy and my husband has free his bike. My business is running smoothly."

"The moment I received the transfer I felt so happy. I remember it was around 8am. I was still taking my breakfast. When I heard a ringtone message from my phone. When I checked it out I couldn't believe my eyes. It was a message confirming that I have received KES 55,000 from GiveDirectly. I felt so happy and immediately inform my family members. They all celebrated with lots of joy. I knew I would be able to buy a heifer. We had planned on purchasing a heifer. I went withdrew the money the same day. I am so grateful for support because GiveDirectly has enabled us to own a dairy cow." (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)

"I am so happy that finally Give Directly is in our sub-location. I have heard a lot of great things about it and my wish was that we also get a chance to receive assistance from this organization. I have had plans of renovating my house but the only challenge has been lack of finances. I sell charcoal for a living and the income is not as much. In a week I make a profit of 1500 KES but can only cater to my basic needs and at times pay school fees for my two sons who are in primary school. I need about 20 bags of cement to start renovations and a bag goes for 650 KES. I also plan to extend the size of my door and replace it with a more firm and access door. I want a secure place where I can safely keep my motorcycle especially." (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)

"I used to take a motorcycle for hire and pay the owner 400KES per day. I saw this as a good business opportunity and decided to take a motorcycle on loan. For me to get full ownership I am required to pay 2550KES weekly for one year. These transfers will therefore help pay the loan and also buy food with the remaining amount for my family."

"No, I don't have new goals for this second transfer. My previous planned about buying a motorcycle for commocial purpose still stands. When I'm through with that, maybe I will have new goals in the future."

""The major challenge I'm faced with right now is finance. I need cash to continue my education. I am currently out of school due to funding and my spouse is not working"" (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)

"The biggest difference in my daily life after receiving the first transfer is rearing a cow of my own with an assurance of getting sufficient milk per day.I am glad that Givedirectly has made my dream come through and I hope in future we will get surplus of milk for sell hence enabling us earn an extra income."
