"GiveDirectly's cash transfer program has been a game changer. In my village, you could see how people's life has changed. People build new and better houses, some bought livestock, some even paid school fees, and others were able to seek medication with these transfers. I am grateful to have received cash transfers from GiveDirectly however GiveDirectly should also consider other ways to support us."

"I wish to continue doing my horticulture farming and small business to be able to meet my daily basic needs and pay school fees for my children in primary school."

"In my opinion, GiveDirectly did well in enrolling me into the program and sending the transfer directly to my phone. Through the transfer, I am happy that my business has turned over a new leaf and can comfortably support the needs of my family. I wish they continue to support people living in poverty in society."

"A couple of years back, my house collapsed and afterwards I ended up moving in with my extended family so that I wouldn't be homeless. Therefore, when I received this money I was quite excited because I intended to use to and finally build myself of home. After retrieving the money I proceeded to buy about twenty four pieces of iron sheets, timber and a bunch of other building material which cost me over KES 30,000. I also spent KES 4,500 in buying a goat. I decided to use the balance I was left with to focus on nourishment because it was a constant predicament as a consequence of persistent drought."

"In my opinion, GiveDirectly did well in choosing our village as one of the areas to offer assistance. By enrolling on the program I am so grateful that the cash transfer has impacted our life positively. I urge the organization to continue to support the less fortunate in our area with the cash aid."

"The enrollment was done well same case to training and most of the community members were so welcoming. Most of the people invested their money well and this improved their standard of living. I do not find anything that GiveDirecty did not do well."

"I am really glad that the transfers enabled me to finally have a home but unfortunately I was unable to finish the some few things in my house especially the flooring. Therefore, when I get any money I am planning on finalizing on anything that was left incomplete. Apart from that, I also plan on paying tuition for my kids since their education is quite important."

"This time around when I received the money, I decided that I was going to use it on doing renovations to my house because it was almost collapsing. The renovations and labor cost me about KES 14,000. Thereafter I proceeded to spend the balance of KES 39,000 on buying myself two cows. This was my investment for the future and incase I ran into financial difficulty."

"I intended to use this funds to build a better house for myself.Therefore,immediately after I withdrew the money I proceeded to buy a dozen pieces of iron sheets and a couple of other building material which cost me about KES 30,000. Afterwards I proceeded to spend KES 14,000 in purchasing four goats. I also spent KES 4,000 in paying tuition for my two kids and then used the remaining balance on nourishment."

"I want to ensure that I save the money from the small business that I do and from the sales of my farm produce to be able to pay school fees for my son who joined form one this year. I would wish to ensure that he gets the best education."
