"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I am living in a decent irony roofed house with the family. My children are enjoying their nights in a proper shelter and I no longer have to worry when it rains at night. This is a great development that I would not have done in a very short time without the transfer. I am grateful to GiveDirectly for the aid that has transformed our lives for the better."

"I spent my transfer on the following items: matress at MK34500, 20 iron sheets at MK6500 each, 5000 bricks for building a new house at MK120000, 2 bags of maize at MK9000 each and saved part of the money to pay artisans who will build my house" (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)

"I am a motorcycle rider famously known as "bodaboda" I do offer taxi services in and outside the village, When GiveDirectly staff came to our village, I knew that God had finally remembered us, we heard about the organization giving out unconditional cash to other villagers long ago, we thought that we had been left out. When I received the second transfer I bought a dairy cow with it so that I could cut down on the expenses of buying milk daily, therefore, used KES 39,000, I then used KES 11,700 in fencing the boundaries of my land to avoid intruders and idlers. I am so thankful for the support that changed our lives." (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)

"I am a motorcycle rider offering taxi services in the village, I am blessed with a wife and two children, I once had a motorbike but it developed a mechanical issue, I was forced to sell it at a throw-away price. the motorbike was my main source of income, therefore we were left with no option but to depend on other casual jobs to earn a living. When I received my transfer prioritized setting aside KES 20,000 so that when I get my second transfer I would be able to top up the money so that I could acquire a second-hand motorbike, I then used the remaining amount in purchasing a solar lamp, furniture, clothes, and foodstuffs. I am grateful for the support that changed my life to a better one."

"As the days go by, my health deteriorates, so does my strength. I am afraid I might not be able to work in the future and I will still require an income to take care of my needs. To avoid becoming a burden to my children, I plan a to purchase a motorcycle for hire. This has been my intention for many years and these transfers will facilitate the process."

"Life generally is different than it would have been if I never received my transfer, for instance, my wife and I are happy and our love life is flourishing because of the transfer that we got, secondly, I used my first transfer in acquiring a motorcycle, I also managed to build a decent house, then lastly I boosted my business where I sell household items, and I hoping that the business would improve. I am so happy and grateful for this great opportunity that impacted my life amazingly."

"I am a farmer and my husband is a motorcycle rider offering taxi services in the village, I wanted a project that is sustainable and easy to manage, therefore I thought of starting a goat rearing business which I used KES 32,000 in buying 8 goats, I am hopeful that with time I will be able to make a living out of it, I then used KES 3000 in preparation for the next planting season, lastly I used the remaining part of the transfer in buying foodstuffs. I am grateful for the support that made me realise my dreams."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is my family now lives in a spacious, modern house that meets our needs. Before receiving this transfer from GD, we lived in a small, run-down house. The single room could barely accommodate the seven of us. There was no sense of privacy and this stripped us of our dignity as a family. All this changed once we received the transfer. We have built a house big enough to give us enough privacy. We have our sense of dignity back. Our lives have truly transformed for the better." (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)

"Am a bodaboda rider, the job income is so low that getting the owner's daily charges is a challenge. Since we have a business structure that was closed after running out of stock, I will reopen it after having accumulated approximately 10k. With the business(kiosk), I will be able to construct my house and marry since am single." (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)
