"In my community owning livestock is considered a sign of wealth. This is because they generate income especially during emergencies or when there is need to clear huge bills like school fees. I will therefore purchase cows and goats that will serve the purpose. Besides, I will reopen my small shop business that I used to run earlier. This will make it ease to meet my family's needs instead of depending solely on my husband. I will also be able to stop my charcoal business which is both illegal and it has negative effects on my health." (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)

"Receiving this money means I will be able to buy a motorcycle with which I can do boda-boda business. With this, I beleive I will be able to provide for my family in a better way."

"I will have built the new kitchen by then so I think when I look back by that time, I will be able to say that at least I have a new kitchen structure which maybe I could not have managed to build were it not for the cash transfers from Give Directly." (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)

"In my opinion, GiveDirectly has done well to give money directly that has enabled people to acquire livestock, permanent houses, motorcycles, household items, cultivation land. This has uplifting people's livelihood in the village. I don't see anything it hasn't done well."

"In my opinion, GiveDirectly has done well in giving money directly to people which has enabled them acquire household items like clothes, livestock, taxi motorcycles and wives. In addition, it gives you money in whole sum in the manner promised without any hitch. I don't see anything it hasn't done well. "

"I expect to have finished the construction of a kitchen being that is my next project. This will allow me to cook comfortably. Come rain come sunshine my cooking will not be interrupted and my living room will no longer be a sub-kitchen." (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)

"The biggest hardship I have faced is lack of money to cater for the household's basic needs. This include; medical care, education and proper feeding. I would wish my family to have 3 meals a day but its not easy because there are no resources." (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)

"The biggest difference in my life is that the giveDirectly cash transfer empowered me to purchase a motorcycle which is operating as a boda-boda. This motorcycle currently earns income for the household. In the past, I was operating a small local brewing business which had many health hazards besides not being profitable."

"My life has significantly improved since receiving the cash transfers. I acquired a motorcycle that will earn the household daily income. Prior to receiving this cash transfer, we depended entirely on farming which was risky. More so, I used to hire motorcycles to earn income as a boda-boda cyclist. However, GiveDirectly has made it possible for me to own a motorcycle which will earn me more income."
