"The biggest difference is that we collectively purchased a motorcycle that is earning daily income. Prevoiusly, we had no income generating activity. I am very delighted that GiveDirectly came to our rescue. "

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I have built a better and spacious house for my family. Before we used to live in one small house which could not host all my family comfortably. Whenever I had visitors it was so embarrassing because there was nowhere to sleep. I could take them to my neighbor's house to sleep. Currently, I no longer fear to welcome visitors to my home because I have a decent and spacious house. My children are also a good place to sleep they no longer spend nights at their grandmother's house. They could walk at night to their grandmother house which was so risky for them. They could not complete their assignment because of the movement at night. Currently, they are so happy the do their assignment in time and their performance has improved so much."

"Currently, I'm riding someone's motorcycle to earn income. I love the job but it's only that it doesn't pay well because we have to share the profit with the owner. Whatever I earn can't comfortably meet my family's needs. Therefore, I'm planning to save some of the money I'll be receiving from GiveDirectly and add to my savings then purchase my motorcycle. This will assure me of an improved income because I won't be sharing the profit with anyone thus I'll be able to meet most of my family's needs with ease.es."

"I topped up 20000 from the previous transfers to the recent one and used the money to pay deposit for a motorcycle. This is the available job for many youths in our area and being that it is not crowded and people have to move up and down using motorcycle, it was the best idea which I thought of. I can never regret because the income that I get is more. Before then, I used to carry people's luggage and firewood to earn a living which could pay me little money. I could also overwork myself and ended up getting very tired by the end of the day. I am glad that these jobs pays me more and I do not get very tired unlike before."

"I have always admired to be my own boss by owning a motorcycle and because of the meager income. I opted to hire a motorcycle which came with a lot of demands like paying a stated amount every day. I used to worry on bad days when I didn't make much to pay for the hired motorcycle at the same time purchase basic needs for my household. Currently, my life is different for the last four months in that I have purchased a motorcycle purposely for motorcycle taxi business and the profits assist me to sustain my family with ease. I also have peace since I no longer worry about giving my employee reasons for not bringing the stated commission on bad days." (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)

"My life is currently different in that I was able to buy a motorcycle that will help me be self employed and generate money to support my family. Prior to getting this money, I used to ride another person's motorcycle and making money to sustain my family was difficult as the boss needed a specific amount of money. So most of the money I made went to him leaving me with just peanut to survive on." (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)

"Receiving this money means a financial stable home for us. My husband works as a "tuktuk" driver in Mombasa but his job is not reliable because he only gets contracted for just 2 to 3 days a week. We plan to create a more stable source of income by purchasing a motorcycle that he will be operating in Bamba center where he will make more money. We will then be able to meet our needs of food, housing and education for our children much easier." (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)

"My needs are met on time because of the bodaboda business that brings income into my household. Food, Medical among others are addressed on time since our motorcycle is the main income generating activity. Prior to receiving GD money, I could depend on manual work in people's farms in order to get money for the family's well being. In addition to this, I Sometimes sold my harvest in order to raise money for diet, medical, school fees among others which affected our food security."

"We decided to spend our transfer on purchasing a motorcycle for a bodaboda business."

"I expect that there will be a change in my life because I want to start a small scale business for my wife who currently has no source of income. I want to start a fish mongering business for her so as to supplement them" (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)
