"My new goal is to buy a motorcycle that I will use as a taxi in order to earn a living. From my friend's knowledge and experience, the business is lucrative. Most of the people tend to move from one place to another and they prefer a taxi because it is fast."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I now have six goats. I am hoping very soon they will multiply and fill the animal shed that I will have built. Already some have started reproducing which gives me hopes of having a bright future. My wish is to start selling some of the offsprings ones they have matured. I believe I will get a good profit because of their high demand in my village. This will now be my source of income that will help me in paying school fees for my children and still cater to my family's basic needs without straining too much. I used to struggle and since I get low income from my casual jobs and most of the time I could not meet my family's basic needs. I am now hopeful and happier because soon all will be well."

"One of my sons is in his final year of high school and I hope that his school fees will have been cleared by the time he sits for his final examinations later this year. I do not want his certificate to be held in school due to uncleared fee balances, hence the need to clear his school fees in time. This will also take off some burden as I will now have to worry about raising fees for his brother in college." (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)

"I have done a lot with the transfers and my only goal now is to invest the rest of them on livestock. I know it will be tough because there might be other pressing matters that may force me to spend the money otherwise, but I pray that all goes as planned and that I own livestock soon. I do not have any at the moment and I would be so proud if I bought some before the project is over." (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)

"My usual day entails waking up as early as 6.00am to go work. As a motorcycle rider, i spend the whole day on the roads transporting my clients as well as other goods. Coming back home in the evening is the happiest part of my day since its the time i reunite with my family as i take a rest" (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)

"The biggest difference in my daily life is being able to help my son acquire a motorcycle. This will help us all in the transportation issue which has always been a big challenge. Knowing that I can now move at any given time without worry makes me happy. In addition to this, m y son will also use this motorcycle as a means of generating income to support the entire family."

"I expect to save as much I can so that I can be able to get a new ceiling board. All that I need to do is to make some savings every month so that within a period of four to six months, I should be able to have saved enough amount." (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I have enrolled my child in nursery school. This was our biggest hardship because raising school fees to take her to school was really hard for us yet he had reached the school-going age. We entirely depend on my spouse's income which is a motorcycle taxi business and he earns on commission. Therefore, enrolling her in school was not materializing due to the little income. I am glad that GiveDirectly's transfer has made it possible for my child to start schooling."

"Before the transfers, I used to live in a rental house. I did not have my own house and due to low income from the motorcycle business, I could not build my own. The motorcycle was also not mine and we had to share the daily income with the owner. The remaining amount of income, I had to use in catering for family needs. I was not able to save my income to buy building materials for building a new house. I had to struggle in a rental house because that's where I could afford. Since I started receiving these transfers, I used part of it to buy building materials such as iron sheets, timber, and nails which I used in building my own house. I feel relieved because I channel the money I used on rent to better my family life." (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)

"Being an employed motorcycle rider, i struggle in providing for my family since the little amount i am usually paid by my employer daily is spent in buying food and other basic needs for my family, thus none is left for savings. I have always wished to start up a business for my spouse so that she can help support in providing for the family but lack of capital has made this impossible, which is the biggest hardship i face" (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)
