"The opportunity to allocate the funds as per our needs without any restrictions caught my attention during the enrollment process. Additionally, the security information provided was valuable in safeguarding our funds from potential fraud. They conducted a comprehensive explanation of the program during our community meeting, outlining its workings. Since the enrollment process went smoothly, I didn't identify any shortcomings that required attention."

"GiveDirectly, in my perspective, did a good job of registering everyone without eliminating anyone from the program. Furthermore, holding sensitization meetings before enrolment allows us to better comprehend and embrace the program."

"I'm so grateful for GiveDirectly because it completely turned my life around. Before, I lived in constant fear in my fragile home. Whenever it rained heavily, I would worry that my house might collapse. However, after receiving the cash transfer, I was able to renovate it. Now, it stands strong and safe, and I no longer have to lie awake at night fearing for my family's safety. This simple act of kindness has given us not just shelter but peace of mind, and for that, I'll forever be thankful."

"Knowing that I would receive funds from GiveDirectly filled me with hope. It meant that I could finally build a decent house, a dream that had been out of reach for years due to financial constraints and the responsibilities of school fees. My livelihood relies on random casual jobs, which aren't always available. I am married and have five children. With my third transfer of $450, I chose to spend the entire amount towards constructing a new house to replace our old grass-thatched one. This marks the realization of a long-awaited dream and a significant relief for me, as I can now afford a decent home. I am deeply grateful to the organization for their generous support."

"GiveDirectly excels in conducting sensitization programs that provide valuable insights, particularly on financial management and safeguarding our funds. These sessions were instrumental in educating us about potential fraud risks and effective ways to secure our money. In my assessment, I didn't identify any areas in need of improvement because everything was executed effectively."

"I bought cows because they can help keep my safe."

"I am thrilled to share that GiveDirectly has brought about commendable changes in our village. The sight of newly constructed houses and the arrival of goats have been a source of joy for all of us here. These changes are more than just physical improvements; they represent a brighter future and newfound hope. As a beneficiary, I feel grateful for the positive changes that GiveDirectly has brought into our lives. It is inspiring to witness how these interventions have a direct and tangible impact on our well-being. Therefore, this should be replicated in other areas with similar problems as ours."

"Everything you do is good and we are happy. I understood everything"

"GiveDirectly has rekindled the spirit of hard work within every household that has had the privilege of receiving a free cash transfer. Their approach, which treats every individual and family with the utmost fairness, has been a welcome and heartwarming experience for our community. It was a clear demonstration of their fairness that we all received the same amount of money on the same day. What they have accomplished beyond our village is nothing short of commendable, and we earnestly hope this continues in the new villages they are yet to visit. I must admit, I never thought someone would offer such a substantial amount of money without expecting repayment, but after receiving the first and second transfers, I have come to believe in the possibility and am genuinely grateful for GiveDirectly's generosity. However, there is room for improvement to expand their reach and impact, ensuring that more underserved communities can experience the positive changes we have witnessed in our village."

"Giving me cash transfers was good and keeping the promise."
