"Without GiveDirectly, My life would still be so hard because I would still be relying on casual jobs to meet basic needs. The robust motorcycle taxi business that I immediately started has changed my life. It is a very reliable source of income form which I can even save a good sum on a daily basis. The financial ability is only possible after GD come to my aid."

"Currently, my life is different in that I have started a motorcycle taxi business which I supplement with the income I get from my salon business which was on the verge of collapsing before GiveDirectly came. Therefore lately, I have been able to provide for my family with ease especially paying school fees for my children and save as well. Through saving, I am hopeful that someday these two businesses will be sustainable and I won't have to be employed in the private sector but rather focus on my business."

"I always admired the dream of being my own boss and having my success through venturing into a lucrative business which is venturing into a transport business of riding a motorcycle known as bodaboda because it's my passion as well. Currently, my life is different than it would have been if I never received this transfer in that I have purchased a motorcycle purposely for motorcycle taxi business and the profits assists m sustain my family with ease. I have also created employment opportunity since I can hire someone to ride it on my absentia or when I am engaged."

"Having a constant source of income has been the greatest change and difference in my life. I used to work for others in their businesses where my earnings were hardly sufficient for my basic daily needs to let alone saving. However, with my own motorcycle, I do a business every day that helps me to meet my needs and also save. Meeting every one of my daily needs has greatly improved the quality of my life. Fancy clothes and enough and nutritious meals that had been only a dream is now a reality. I can afford all these because of the good decision I made to run a motorcycle taxi when GiveDirectly gave me the transfers."

"Currently, my life is different in that I have started a workshop business which I supplement with the income I get from the casual construction labourer job that I do on a part-time basis. lately, I have been able to provide for my family with ease and save as well. Through saving, I am hopeful that someday I will be a successful entrepreneur out of starting a motorcycle job hence I won't have to be employed in the private sector but rather focus on my business."

"My additional goal is to save the profits I am getting out of selling fish and part of GiveDirectly's transfers which I have saved 30,000 KES and buy a motorcycle for a motorcycle taxi business known as bodaboda business to make an extra -income."

"In my view, GD did so well in that I never thought I could sleep in a iron roofed house because there wasn't anyway or the other I could raise money for building a permanent house. In my community, have noticed that most recipients have spent these transfers on construction of houses, buying livestock, Motorcycles and set up businesses. To my observation, everything went on well with GD."

"My life is different in that, I have owned 5 cow and agriculture which is the main source food and income has been made easier with the oxen I acquired. Before receiving this transfer, I didn't have any cow and I hired oxen for ploughing my land that often delayed planting since the oxen were not available in time which resulted to low yields."

"My life is better now because I ride my own motorcycle which I bought with the transfer. It has eased transportation for both my family members and merchandise to the market on market days. I have also plastered my house and I am using solar light. My home is beautiful and it looks like a town. Before I received the transfer, transportation was not easy. I could hire a motorcycle for me to go any where and also transport the merchandise to the market which was expensive."

"I was awoken by a message notification at around 0058 hours and to my surprise, it was a Mpesa message notifying that I had received money from GD. I broke the news to my husband who was awoken by the notification too and he was also so happy. I was filled with joy and hope of adding more to my farm and a cow was my first option was to buy a dairy cow since we could get milk for family consumption and calves to sell in future to meet rising family financial needs."
