"Having goats is the biggest difference that I can proudly talk of in my life. I settled on rearing goats because they reproduce twice a year and require minimal management compared to other domestic animals. Furthermore, their food is also easily available in my environment since they can live in any type of climate. I am hopeful that they will multiply and increase in number very soon. Therefore, I shall sell some in our local markets. Apart from that, I will exchange some for a dairy cow so that I can get milk and sell so that I can generate my daily income. And according to me, these are the well-thoughtful assets that will help me in the near future. Thank you GiveDirectly for making an impact in my life." (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)

"Receiving this money means I will be able to buy a piece of land and oxen that will support in cultivation, a motorcycle that will ease movement, household items and take care of the education needs of my children. I believe my household will not remain the same."

"The biggest difference in my daily life since I started receiving these transfers is that I am currently undertaking a tailoring course. I have never had any sources of income and have my family has always depended on my husband's income. Life could not get better in my family because there were many demands to meet with his little income from motorcycle taxi business. I have always desired to have a stable source of income but could not. When I started receiving these transfers, I decided to register for a tailoring course so that I could also have a source of income to help my husband in meeting family needs when I am done with the course."

"The big difference now is that I have purchased materials which I will use for constructing an iron roofed house. I now have a mattress and blanket which I did not have before." (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)

"Owning a motorcycle has greatly changed my daily life as I am in position to fully provide for my family needs in terms of daily feeding, health care, transportation, availability of cash in flow among others. Prior to getting this transfer, although I depended on agriculture to feed, raising money for other needs was not easy as my wife or I had to do casual labor. I am also an employed person and I offer transportation service to my community which keeps me busy and useful. Before getting this money, I used to hang out with peers that did nothing and at times ended up in trouble."

"I bought a second-hand motorbike which has now turned into my main source of income. I use the motorbike to ferry passengers at a fee within this locality and what I can say is that for me life has taken another turn ever since I bought the machine." (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)

"Most of my first transfer was lent to a brother who wanted a top up to buy a taxi motorcycle, and the remaining balance, I bought household items like mattress and blanket."

"The greatest difference in our daily life is that, My spouse is able to generate daily income through our boda boda motorcycle. This means that we can afford to buy basic needs in our household like clothes, food, seek medical attention among others. Whenever I request money from him, he provided. Previously, we could look for manual labour in order to get some little money to sustain the well being of our family. Therefore when we didn't get any work, we lived a desperate life since children at home need to eat and we can not provide them with what to eat."
