"Receiving this money means a semi-permanent house for my family. Currently, I am staying in a small grass-thatched house that is leaking during rainy season. I am planning to spend my entire first transfer to construct a two-bedroom house so that we live a decent life. I will further spend KES 3000 of my second transfer to buy 10 goats that will act as a long time investment project to my household. I will invest the remaining amount in my children's educational needs." (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)

"With the current drought in my area, getting water has been very difficult. Sometimes I am forced to travel longer distances to get water. This has had some negative implications on my health and productivity in the family because I spend longer hours on the road carrying water home. Traveling longer distances and at the same time paying for the water has been a great challenge given that I solely rely on my husband's motorcycle riding occupation which is not sustainable."

"I have been surviving on motorcycle riding for the past three years. This has been the only source of income for my family. The motorcycle I have been operating with is a borrowed one meaning it's something I can't fully rely on. Receiving this money from GiveDirectly means I will be able to purchase my motorbike on credit by first making a deposit of 15 Dollars and paying the balance in equal weekly installments of 30 Dollars for sixteen months. Getting my motorcycle will make my occupation way reliable. Furthermore, I'm planning to boost my kiosk business which has been performing poorly. I will use 20 Dollars to increase the stock which will lead to an increase in sales and profits at the same time. My wife will be responsible for all the operations in the kiosk because she has an amazing experience in operating a kiosk." (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)

"I am facing a lol of challenges in the town. To get food for my family is one of my challenge, and theirs is no motorcycles to take me for emergency just in case my children are sick. to get medical attention is another challenge."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I have an additional source of income having acquired a motorcycle through the transfer. I am working as a salonist and the income from it has not been enough to take care of all our basic needs. My husband was employed by a neighbour and they were sharing the proceeds from offering taxi services. He was getting just a little income from this. I am happy that he is currently using our own motorcycle to provide taxi services at a fee. Owning this motorcycle will increase the income and I can effectively fulfill the basic needs like food with ease." (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)

"My plan for the cash transfer is to start a business because i believe that once i invest the money its going to grow and that will enable me get those basic things that i need." (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)

"I am a motorcycle rider and the money I make is not sufficient enough to pay school fees for my children and buy other basic needs. Receiving this money will compliment boda earnings."

"The flow of my plans upon receiving this cash transfer are as follows: Firstly, to build my house. Secondly, to upgrade my small business that I am already making and thirdly, to take my son( Abraham Siryon) for medical operation (bone surgiry) due to the motorcycle accident he had. As old as I am, i am still residing in a family house and my children whose father abandoned us over ten (10) years now also need a place for shelter too of their own. I go to the Fula merchandise store and take their goods for ( sell & pay) through which I have been sustaining and even gathered some of my construction materials. I think with this transfer, I can build my house upgrade my small business."

"I know the importance of education and want to become a better person in the future who will cater to my family. Since I graduated from high school two years ago, I have not gotten any job opportunity to work and either sponsor myself or have someone to sponsor me. I have gotten involved in unskilled jobs to get money and sponsor myself in school but it has not materialised. So when I receive this transfer, I will sponsor myself in school because I know what it means to be educated. Another thing that I will do when I receive this money is to build a two room house for my family because the one that I am in presently is not decent for me. The house leaks whenever the rain falls so when I build my own house, I will make it decent to my liking. If there will be any money that will remain, it will be used to start a small business."

"I have a desire of starting a business, but I don't have money now .With the cash transfer I will start selling food, like cold storage chicken and other meat.I have credited money from my mother to start a business before, It was going well but I had to pay back the debt. After I paid back, I had nothing left to continue the market because the money credit for the business was not much." (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)
