"The transfer has enabled me to buy two second hand motorcycles which are now a source of income to my family. I gave them to my sons who are offering taxi services at a fee. They were initially employed by neighbours but they were getting little income from the taxi services. This is because they had to share the daily proceeds with the owners. Having their own motorcycles makes it to be the biggest difference in my daily life since I am assured of getting an increased income to effectively cater for my family's basic needs. They no longer have to share the proceeds with anyone."

"I spent KES 30,000 of my transfer on a heifer which is currently six months pregnant.I used to buy two cups of milk per day amounting to KES 600 per month because I didn't have any dairy cow. I also spent KES 5000 on adding stock to my Kangumu business in order to generate income and now it's doing well because. Initially, I used to work as motorcycle taxi man for one year and it wasn't bearing fruit. KES 5000 was spent on ten chicken layers because it will be a source of income for my family. KES 16000 was spent on clothing because we didn't have clothing for special occasions. KES 4000 was spent on a goat in order to act as alternative milk supply during my dairy cow dry period."

When I checked the contents of the message, I had received my first transfer from GiveDirectly. I felt happy and thanked GiveDirectly for the financial support."

"It was at 6am in the morning when I was preparing tea and I had left my phone on my bed. My neighbour asked me if I had received a text from GiveDirectly and I told her that I had not. When I went back to check my phone, I saw a message from GiveDirectly and I went to tell my husband who was also very happy." (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)

"The biggest difference in my daily life is abundance of peace and happiness in my house. This is because the transfers have relieved us of school fees and food burden. I am now stress free and my kids are eating well. Before, we used to rely on my milk selling business and my husband's motorcycle taxi business in order to pay fees and buy food for my family.We are therefore grateful to GiveDirectly for coming through for us."

"The transfer has brought a big difference in my life and that of my family. I have been able to complete repaying the loan that I still owed the bank for the motorbike. I therefore no longer have stress about repaying the loan. The loan though, helped me in acquiring a motorbike of my own because before, I had been hired to ride someone else’s motorbike. Having finished repaying the loan, the money that I will hence be getting from the motorbike business will help me in other things such as buying food for the chickens. Thank you GiveDirectly for enabling me to fulfill my dreams. May God bless you." (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)
