"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I have purchased a motorcycle. I had always wished to own one but I didn't had the money. I depend on casual jobs in the village and small retail shop. The amount of money that I get through this is so small and was only for household basic needs and stock to my shop. Currently I earn a daily income of KES 250 from the motorcycle taxi business. I wake up in the morning and comes back home in the evening. This has build my self esteem and confidence in doing the job. I add stock to my business and it's now doing good. I am so happy because GiveDirectly has changed our living standards. Now I have a source of income and I am so happy. I wished to save the money and purchase a new one soon." (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I have renovated my shop. I also purchased a machine that I am currently using it. I am a mechanic at the shopping center. I repair cars and motorcycles. This job earns me an income that I used to support my family. I had always wished to purchase a machine but I did not had the money. My work was not easy and sometimes I could borrow the machine from friends. When I received the transfer from GiveDirectly I felt so happy and immediately purchase the machine. Currently I do longer get worried like before. I do my work so well and with ease. This had motivated me and build my self esteem. The income is much higher compare to previous days when I didn't had the machine. My shop is also renovated and looking so decent. GiveDirectly has changed my living standard to be much better and ease my work."

"The house I built is the one that I spent most of my transfer on. I spent a total of KES26000, which included iron sheets that cost KES16000. I needed a house because before we used to sleep in a borrowed house which used to make me so sad and wish to get my own house which I would have freedom and authority over. Therefore, right now I have a house and our children will never have to sleep in a borrowed house, I am so grateful." (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)
