"I'll keep my money and wait for the second transfers because, we plan to buy new motorcycle for a business purpose. Our lives will change from the money we will gather from the motorbikes.i want to open shop for myself as well."

"When I received the money the first thing I thought of was putting some money away as part of my savings since my profession was driving a motorcycle as taxi but since I did not have my own motorcycle I used to borrow from my friends in the village and we would work in shifts and that is why I chose to save up KES 1,900 so that eventually I buy my own and earn more money since I would not work in shifts anymore. The drought has also really affected the harvest in the farm and that is why I spent KES 1,100 and bought a bag of maize flour which contained twelve packets."

"I was initially renovating my house earlier last year but due to covid everything was locked down and i drived a motorcycle for taxi as a job. Since i could not make enough money i had to stop renovating my house. After receiving the money, i went ahead and bought equipment to finish what i had started especially the roofing. i bought timber worth KES 3500, 2 kg of nails worth KES 450 and the transport back and forth cost me KES 2500 which i added with savings that i had."

"I thank GiveDirectly for making me a great person in my community.GiveDiretly did well by making me to own money which I have never seen in my life.In my opinion, what Givedirectly has not done well is the cash out process. because going to Grand Bassa was very expensive and stressful in withdrawing the transfer."

I also want to build my own house because I am still living under my father roof with my children it embarrassing for me. I been plaining to build my own house. but I never had the support to accomplish my plan. But with the support from givedirectly my plan will be successful." (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)

My children will now be in school, and they will be healthy. Since. I received my transfer there's more food, we eat like twice a day now" (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)

"My goal has always been to buy a motorcycle for myself. I feel embarrassed whenever i see my friends getting their own money to help support their families. When i received my transfer from Givedirectly my entire plan changed to building a decent house for my family. Which was my mother ideas and i accept her thought and work on her plans and i succeeded in executing it. My next goal is to send my bigger daughter's to Buchanan to attend one of the best school. I want to open a very big shop besides my new house that I am building so I can do business to sustain my family. My wife will be fixing washing soap to sell. The money that will be generated from our businesses will be putting into a susu saving club. I am going to buy generator, and a set of television for my children comfort."

"Receiving this money means an additional income to me. Depending on my neighbour's motorcycle taxi business for a living is somewhat straining as I have always had to surpass daily targets to have some money to give the employer as well as save. From the days' income, I give my employer KES 300 daily and save the rest. I had already accumulated KES 10000 but unlucky, I was involved in an accident and I used all this savings to cater for the damages caused. Thanks to God, Give directly has come in handy for I intend to use KES 60000 to purchase a second-hand motorbike hence my ambition of owning a motorbike to earn income will come true. I will use the rest of the transfers to build a 2 roomed iron-roofed house." (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)

"Receiving this money means that I will be able to open an agro-vet in Siongiroi town and buy a motorcycle. I am a certified veterinary officer and rely solely on this job to earn income. I plan to use KES 70000 to open an agro-vet so that I can diversify my income other than that from the veterinary services that I offer. I plan on getting a second-hand motorcycle that goes for KES 40000 that will enable me to reach more people who need my help and to transport drugs and other supplies that I will need in the agro-vet."
