"In the next six months, I want to ensure I pay my school fees on time. I would want to make use of the opportunity given to me by GD to better my life. I will channel most of my transfers in school so that I can do well and get a good job to support my family." (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)

"I have plans of quitting my current job which is working at an illicit brewery centre so that I can do a more decent job in motorcycle operation. I have managed to pay a bigger percentage on it through GiveDirectly transfers and my own income and will soon be able to own the bike. Receiving GiveDirectly transfers gave me the courage to make such a decision because I knew I would pay for it using the transfers every time I receive it. I have also improved the general status of my house as I have been able to buy a few household items that I never had before such as a television set."

"In the next six month i expect the cow will have given birth and I will able to get milk out of it for my consumption and also to sell it to the community and get money for my up keep. " (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)

"Receiving this money means a huge relief for me in terms of accessing my basic needs of food, water and shelter. I currently reside in an old small thatched roof house that leaks during rainy seasons. With this cash, I will be able to build a new and bigger house with an iron sheets roof. I will also buy oxen and ox plough to assist me in farming since am too old to till a big portion of land manually. Last but not least, I will purchase a bicycle for my son in order to cut cost of ferrying water using a motorcycle."

"I have been running a restaurant business for quite some time now and so far the business has been generating profits for the time it has been operational. My plan is to invest more in the business and make it more profitable going into the future. I believe that the business will keep me afloat going into the future even past the period when the GD will have stopped sending us the transfers." (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)

"Now that I am earning a better income from the new firewood business that I started using GD transfers, I want to save as much as possible so that I can eventually be able to buy a motorcycle. Before this can happen though, I need to clear the loan I took from a Sacco to add to what I had saved from GD transfers to be able to set up the business, after which I can focus on the motorcycle which I will use to deliver firewood to my customers and even hire out for transportation services at a fee."

"I spend my second transfer to buy a motorcycle. This earns me an income daily because I used it for a taxi . I do transport pieces of luggage for people at the center near home. I also have a business of selling second-hand clothes and this motorcycle helps me in transporting my stock to the market.I'm so grateful for the support."

"On my usual day I wake up at 6:00am, I take a shower, have breakfast and then I leave for work with my motorcycle. I bought the motorcycle a few years ago which I use for transportation of people and goods upto 7:00pm in the evening in Kiamutisya, Mathare . I hang around after work with my friends where our group is located to have a chat until 9:00am. I then head back in my house, relax with my family as I have supper and then I retire to bed. In my free time I like to relax at home with family or where my group is located with my friends or walk around my village."

"The moment I received my money, I felt so happy because I have never got such an amount of money in my life." (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)

"Owning a motorcycle has been my dream for a long time but since I didn't have enough income I couldn't purchase it. I believe it is a good business because It is like a basic commodity in this area. People have to travel on a daily basis which makes it a lucrative business. I'm happy through the GiveDirectly transfers my life will improve. Definitely, my life would have not improved this much had I not received the transfers from this institution."
