"In my opinion, Givedirectly does well by giving money to every household in the village without discrimination. The money came in handy to us, especially at the beginning of this year as we have been hit hard by drought and famine. I have not seen anything that GD is not doing well or needs to improve."

"One thing I love about GD is the way it gives unconditional cash transfers to the community, unlike other organizations that give in-kind transfers. This has enabled us to spend according to our priorities. I have not noticed anything that the organization should improve."

"One thing that Give Directly excels at is transferring unconditional cash to recipients, which means that everyone had the opportunity to use the money in their own unique ways to meet various needs. This has also assisted many people in achieving financial independence through various forms of business, and the relationships between people in the villages have greatly improved as a result."

"I used to make a living by selling charcoal and earning $4 per sale. In the process of burning and selling charcoal, I developed an eye problem. The situation worsened and I had to undergo surgery at Kaloleni Hospital, in December last year. Luckily, I am currently doing very well but I cannot go back to the job that I used to do, with the fear that the condition will rise again. I am planning to just stay at home for six months so that I can fully recover and when I am well, I have a plan of purchasing two goats and start my investment. I will invest in the goats and when they give birth, I will have many to invest in. To start the investment, I will go get my starting amount from my savings so that I will have cash to purchase the goats.Although I am facing challenges, I am determined to work hard and achieve my goals in life."

"With Givedirectly, lives have changed immensely. People have constructed houses, bought livestock and paid school fees for their children. I am excited that no school-going child is seen at home while their peers are in school. When a child is educated, the whole nation prospers! I am yet to witness this shortly, courtesy of Givedirectly. constructed livestock bought Assisting people is good"

"After receiving my second transfer, I immediately thought of paying my son's boarding school fees, as it was the most pressing financial obligation at that time. I utilized $120 for this purpose, even though our income was low and we had other financial responsibilities. My husband and I are both farmers, and we have five children. Furthermore, I used part of the transfer to acquire additional goats to supplement the one I already had. This was a prudent investment that I could not afford before due to financial constraints. We are grateful for the support from GiveDirectly, which went a long way in enhancing our livelihoods."

"The acquisition of goats has made the most significant difference in my life. This new development will allow me to save money that I previously spent on purchasing milk every day. Additionally, I now have enough food in the house, which has lifted a great burden off my shoulders. I am extremely grateful for the financial assistance that we received during our time of need."

"Upon receiving my transfer, I contemplated investing the funds in acquiring additional goats to supplement the one I already owned. This would secure the funds while also providing an investment that would appreciate in value. Consequently, I spent $200 on goats and utilized the remaining funds to purchase a sack of maize, water containers, and clothing. My financial constraints had previously hindered me from accomplishing this. I rely on farming and raising goats to make a living, which barely meets the needs of my wife and three children. I am grateful that I can finally save money for my children's school fees."

"The recent transfer from GiveDirectly has made a significant difference in my daily life. With the money, I was able to purchase enough foodstuff to feed my family without worrying about running out of supplies. This has significantly reduced the stress associated with food scarcity, giving me peace of mind. Additionally, I was able to equip my children with everything they needed for the school year, including uniforms, textbooks, and stationery. This has relieved me of the financial burden of preparing them for school and has enabled me to focus on other aspects of our lives. Overall, the transfer has improved the quality of our lives, and we are grateful for the support."

"It was in the morning around 11 am , I was home in my bed room. I was full of joy in my heart. I thought that the money will be a solution to my problems."
