"The most outstanding right thing about Give Directly is that it does not discriminate people. Transfers are awarded fairly. You do not depend on rumours. Your aim of eradicating poverty is also a good thing. I always pray for Give Directly so that you may continue changing people's lives. Everything about you is okay, there is actually nothing to improve on."

"Give Directly is doing everything well. The best thing is that you give us money without expecting us to refund. This has been of great help. Keep doing a good job. I don't see any area of improvement."

"In my opinion, GiveDirectly did well in visiting and training every household before enrolling the eligible ones. In addition, the organization fulfilled every promise it made to us by sending cash transfers to poor households."

"With the first and second transfers, I received from GiveDirectly, I managed to build my house. This is after I had saved the money to buy bricks, cement, and other building materials. I managed to build a 3-bedroom house to completion. I am a father to three years old sons. My wife is a colonist while I am selling clothes, and doing house construction. Before I started receiving the money, I used to live in a single mud-thatched house and it was old. Thank you so much GiveDirectly, at least I am able to live in a good house unlike before."

"My biggest accomplishment will be to open a grocery and combine it with my food vending business. I would like to have a centralized place where I can run my business because it is hectic to walk around selling cooked food. I also believe that having a centralized place to run my business will be an opportunity to have many more customers."

"It is every parent’s wish to see his or her children happy, and what more could you give your children other than education? This will remain to be one of the outstanding things that GiveDirectly did well. Water is a major issue and for many years, I could not afford a water tank. It is an accomplishment to own a tank and see some of my neighbors' tanks as well. I am grateful to realize that brought by GiveDirectly and would pray that they will continue in the same spirit."

"We are a family of seven members, and my husband is a charcoal burner. The biggest challenge is paying school fees for all our six children in school. As soon as I got enrolled in the program, we paid outstanding school fees of $200 and used $55 to buy my children's new school uniforms. The rest of the funds bought iron sheets because we wanted to build a bigger house that would accommodate the whole family. The second transfer of $300 was used to buy the remaining building materials and labor to build a two-roomed house. The remaining $200 was used to settle an outstanding payment of a piece of land that we bought years ago and could even prepare the land for a foundation of single rooms."

"GiveDirectly has done well in enrolling our village, which has enabled my children to afford their education, among many other things. The support funds have ensured most of the families without homes have built their own homes. Our area had water issues caused by prolonged drought. The funds assisted many to come together as a community and have tap water installed in the compound from Kilifi town. Some built gutters and bought tanks in anticipation of collecting rainwater. I have seen nothing that the organization would do better, but would be grateful if they considered giving us more funds."

"GiveDirectly is one reason I could build a bigger house that would accommodate my children. The funds have allowed me to open my business. I have no criticism of GiveDirectly other than my request that they would continue enrolling more villages in Kilifi county and help in eradicating poverty."

""Before I started receiving transfer from GiveDirectly, as a farmer who had no extra income apart from selling a little portion of the products we plant to help us buy other necessities for the family, Not much was earned to undertake any major project like building a new house or changing our house roof from the old thatched roof to a zinc roof. For this reason we had to lived in a house with old thatched roof with so much leakages. Now that I have started receiving transfers from GiveDirectly my planned is to use the money to transform the lives of my family and improve our house to a better and comfortable status. Thanks to GiveDirectly for this life changing opportunity.""
