"Many households in the village, in my opinion, appreciated GiveDirectly's enormous effort to alleviate their poverty. Everyone who received the transfer invested in what they needed the most, as it was made clear that we were responsible for deciding how to spend the cash transfers we received. I never heard anyone complain about the process, but everyone appreciated GiveDirectly's fair treatment, which did not favor anyone but distributed equal support."

"I am a single mother of eight children, seven of whom are currently in school. Paying their school has been difficult, but the first transfer has eased the burden. With $85, I was able to pay off all of my primary school children's debts. Foreseeing a future challenge when they reach secondary school, I spent $160 on four goats that I intend to breed and sell the offspring to pay their tuition. I also purchased two sets, one for my children and one for myself, each with a mattress for a total of $240.We had been sleeping on wretched bedding our entire lives, and we are relieved that we can now sleep on clean and comfortable bedding. I used some of the remaining funds to purchase four chickens worth $22 each, which I am raising alongside the goats and selling the eggs to cover smaller household bills. With the remainder, I purchased food for my family of nine."

"When I received my first transfer I was happy because, this is my very first time to received such amount of money free from any organizations."

"Give Directly did an incredible job in our community, lifting many people out of poverty. I was struggling and on the verge of giving up when I received the GiveDirectly assistance that changed my family's standard of living. It gave me the ability to make spending decisions while also making a difference in the lives of other families in the village. The project's plan and execution were flawless, and we understood everything as explained by the staff who came to visit."

"I was incredibly happy when I received my first transfer from GiveDirectly. Even though I did not know the exact date, I was certain when I read the message's content and saw the figures that matched my expectations. I was out in the woods getting firewood at the time and needed to finish the job before returning home. I could not tell anyone about the news because I live alone after my parents passed away. I collected the money from the nearby shopping center after three days of aligning my foals."

"In my opinion GiveDirectly has been doing well from the beginning of this program until now. They have never failed on their promises to us. Some of us were literally giving up on life because of poverty and the day GiveDirectly entered our town our hopes and dreams are lighting up now. We are very fortunate to be part of this unique program. Their love for humanity is very much remarkable. Therefore I have not seen anything that GiveDirectly is not doing quite well."

""I was overjoyed when I received my first transfer. The joyed and excitement I felt can not be explained. This money had brought so much relieved and joyed to us as family. Few days before this transfer all my eight children were put out of school for school fees and uniforms. This brought us so much sadness as family to the extent that I cried not knowing where to get money from so they can go back to school. Happily I received my first transfer over the weekend and the excitement had been unending for us. Because settling their fees was the first thought that came to mind.""

""In my opinion GiveDirectly has done a great job for us the needy. I can't imagine life without GiveDirectly especially this year. I was almost giving up on my son's health due to financials constraints. Every time I see him cried and I can't do anything to help him it breaks my heart so much. I am very hopeful that with the transfers I am receiving from GiveDirectly my son will get the treatment needed. Therefore in my view I have not seen anything that GiveDirectly is not doing quite well.""

"I have plans to build new house,so upon getting my second transfer I decided building a new house"

"I had been suffering for long. Due to my financial status it was very impossible for me to school my children. Receiving my first transfef brought me great relief"
