"Back in July, I was riding on a motorcycle along with friends to Boe town to attend a funeral service. While on our way, we had a terrible accident which led to my friends sustaining severe injuries. I was the only one who didn't sustain any major injury on that faithful day which brought me so much joy and happiness."

"I was working on the farm fixing cooking pot when I received my money message. It was one of the joyous day in my life. I felt so happy. Because my motorcycle that I have has broken down. And I have been thinking on how to raise money to purchase a fairly used one. Thanks to GiveDirectly for helping me out."

"There was a family shop lying vacant at home. I operated someone's motorcycle who paid me on commission daily. The business is flooded and the highest amount I could make was KES 300 daily. With the current rise in the price of commodities, I could save any money. The receipt of the money motivated me to start up something for myself hence I stocked the shop that had stayed vacant for quite some time with food products, detergents, utensils, and other daily used household commodities at KES 25000. The business has grown, and I am making good profits from it. KES 25000 I spent on both constructing a poultry house and purchasing 12 chickens for rearing. I also bought two chairs at 3600 and used KES 1000 to purchase some foodstuffs for the family." (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)

"I am a motorcycle rider and have been the main income earner in the family. Having a family of five to take care of, I strained to meet their needs and in most cases, I would end up in debt. This motivated me to purchase a dairy cow worth KES 37500 for my spouse so that she does not have to rely on me. As we speak, the cow has already given birth, and we do not only get enough milk for family consumption, but my spouse makes KES 180 daily from the milk sales. This is an additional source of income and it has made it easy for our family since they do not depend on me fully. In addition, I have a son in boarding primary school, and he owed the school an arrears of KES 5000 which I cleared with part of the first transfer. KES 5500 I used to offset a loan I had borrowed from our savings and loaning group in April to settle my son's school fees. The remaining KES 6500 I spent on enough different kinds of foodstuffs to keep my family for a while." (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)

"Sincerely speaking I do not have any new goal. After having managed to buy a second hand motorcycle through the second GiveDirectly's cash transfer I will continue putting it into good use for the betterment of my family's basic needs."

"Apparently, I do not have any other new goal except to continue with the finalization of the house and ensuring that our businesses are up and running. I do sell vegetables and my husband is a motorcycle taaxi driver"
