"The organization conducted its operations very well, especially when probing; you would think they had known you for a long time because their probing skills were top-notch. We were all treated with dignity and respect. From the beginning of our interaction, we felt that our opinions were valued and that they provided us with the best services possible."

"Raising my children on my own has been the most difficult thing I've had to endure in a long time. This is because my husband and I divorced 40 years ago. It has not been easy since I returned to my parent's house. I am a mother of five children. Paying school fees for my children has been a struggle for me. When I receive my transfer, I use the entire amount to pay my two children's university tuition. I was overjoyed because it meant I wouldn't have to sell any of our properties. This was difficult previously because I was completely reliant on farming, which is always not reliant. After all, our area is experiencing unfavorable weather conditions."

"I saw the need for a dairy cow after receiving my second transfer. This is because I wanted to reduce the cost of buying milk daily, which was very expensive. After all, one liter costs $0.5. As a result, I spend $380 on a cow, which was previously not possible due to the need for school fees and my reliance on my cobbler job, which is not very reliable. My wife runs a household goods business. We have six kids. I then spend $120 on school fees for my two high school-aged children. I am overjoyed that I can now own a cow in my old age, which will reduce our daily expenses."

"When we were told that we would receive our transfer, one of my top priorities was to build a decent house for my family. I rely on vegetable sales to supplement my income. My husband is very old, so I am the sole breadwinner. We are the parents of six children. I started building a house with my first transfer, but it wasn't finished due to the high cost of building materials, so I decided to use my entire second transfer to finish it. My previous home was small, and the kitchen was grass thatched. I was unable to build one previously due to financial constraints, as all of my earnings were prioritized on school fees. payment and other basic needs. I am overjoyed and content with how far I have come."

"In my opinion, GiveDirectly does well by coming to my village and changing our lives positively. The unconditional cash transfer has enabled us to own livestock, pieces of land, and houses and send our children to school. Also, we were offered informative teachings on how we could secure our cash from fraudsters and online scammers. I do not see anything that they did not do well."

"Personally I am quite grateful for the funds I received from the organization because they were quite life changing for me. I finally was able to accomplish something I wanted for so long which was to build a house for my family and the funds made that possible."

"I would love to express my attitude to the organization for the University that it has shown us. The funds enabled me to pay tuition for my son and fortunately at the moment he has graduated from high school which makes me quite happy."

"In my opinion, GiveDirectly did well in sending money directly to mobile phones. The unconditional cash transfers have helped us to change our living conditions since there is a lot of development in the village. I wish they would return to see how our village life has improved and assist us more."

"Since I had to use most of the transfers to spend on my son's education I am hoping that when I finally have enough money I can finish up with the construction to my house. I also intend on keeping my son in school so any little money I get I will ensure to pay for his tuition."

"Using my first transfers I had started on buying a couple of building material because I wanted to construct home since my old one had collapsed a couple of years back. Therefore, when I received the transfers this time around I went ahead to buy a couple of pieces of timber and eighteen pieces of iron sheets. Afterwards I proceeded to buy a bed and a mattress which cost me KES 10,500. I then bought four goats which was worth KES 14,000. I decided to use the remaining balance I was left with on nourishment."
