"GD gives nonrefundable cash while other NGOs gives refundable cash."

"I used to be psychologically perturbed on how I would educate my children something that is no longer the case. GD has enabled me to keep my children in school and this has given me a total piece of mind in my daily life."

"GD is less bureaucratic in giving out transfers than other Ngos. Their enrollment processes require less movement from one office to the other and least paper work."

"The biggest difference is that am at peace because I have paid school fees, I have my own business which satisfies my daily needs and a water tank to store water."

"GiveDirectly allows you to chose on the things to do with the cash but other organizations don't allow for options. They even pick beneficiaries based on "who you know"."

"GD has lifted many to higher levels unlike others who only take names and go ."

"Other NGOs works indirectly which makes it difficult for recipients to receive donations. GD sends direct transfers which is faster and easier to receive."

"Other NGOs have many intermediaries before any assistance gets to an individual, this has led to corruption as they ask for bribes, while GD deals directly with an individual and sends the transfers directly to him or her and they can decide how to spend it."

"GD gives money directly while other NGOs goes through people."

"GD gives out money that is unconditional and we can channel it to any of our problems while other Ngos give materials goods which cannot be channeled to any of the the livelihood alternatives."
