"The organization's remarkable choice to extend assistance to the most vulnerable community through unconditional transfers, without considering factors such as status, education, gender, or age, was truly remarkable. We feel deeply privileged to have had the opportunity to witness and benefit from such a compassionate initiative."

"What struck me the most about Give Directly was their unwavering commitment to transparency. They diligently fulfilled their promise of distributing cash equitably and punctually. Additionally, they went the extra mile by conducting multiple follow-ups to ensure the safe delivery of the transfers, instilling a strong sense of security within us throughout the entire process."

"I had barely finished resting in the house when I got the Mpesa SMS. When I first saw it, my heart was bursting with excitement, and I could already picture the lovely home I had always wanted. Additionally, my kids were currently not attending school, but after seeing the money in my Mpesa, I was confident they would go back and match the rest of the other students, thus making me emotionally satisfied."

"I'm looking forward to becoming self-employed. Currently, I work as a motorcycle taxi driver. My goal is to save up and purchase my own motorcycle, enabling me to generate income and sustain myself financially. With my own motorcycle, I would be able to transport my children to school and ensure their well-being, while also being able to provide for myself and meet my own needs."

"I hope that within the coming year I will satisfy my Family with feeding and fight for hunger"

"I have a strong aspiration to work diligently, successfully complete my studies, and continue investing in sheep, which I have already begun. I am determined to accomplish these goals with dedication and perseverance."

"My hope is to start my own business in the future. I have been diligently saving money, which I usually receive from Givedirectly, with the intention of opening a cafeteria."

"My hope is to build a house. I have already started purchasing all the necessary materials for the construction. Additionally, I look forward to seeing my children complete their education and become independent in the future."

"My goal is to expand my vegetable-selling business and invest more, allowing me to generate a sustainable income and transform my life. I am eager to witness significant growth in my business and achieve long-term success."

"Food insecurity in my household is what has made life so difficult. This is because I live in a polygamous family with 13 members. Since my husband is unskilled, he lacks a decent job that can sustain our needs and thus, he engages himself in casual jobs. Considering the needs of our large family, getting our daily meals has been a problem or if luck is on our side, we survive on one meal a day. This situation has robbed away my joy and I am always hopeless in life. Hence, I consider this situation as my biggest challenge."
