"In my opinion, GiveDirectly did a great job by coming into my village. I was freely and fairly enrolled after consenting. I also received the cash timely as I had been promised during the registration period. Therefore I do see anything that requires to be looked into as they transition to the other village. All went well."

"Give Directly has done extremely well for us. I was able to paid my kids school fees and enlarged my farm as well."

"Give Directly has done extremely well for me because i always wanted to enlarge my farm but i couldn't afford to pay people to work for me. But with the help of Give Directly transfer i have done it so easily. Even when i am dead my kids will still benefit from that farm."

"When I received my second transfer of $550, I used $200 to buy a heifer and another $100 to buy maize for consumption. The remaining amount of $250 was used to cement the floor of my house. I chose to invest the money on livestock as a long term investment that would see me meet some of the emergency needs that may come by. I had for a long time longed for a house with a cemented floor since this would be easy to maintain but due to little income that we make from our subsistence farming then we were unable to raise enough to do all the improvements that we have been able to do with GiveDirectly transfers. I now feel so much happy and grateful to GiveDirectly for what it has enabled us to do-something we would not have achieved anytime soon."

"The challanges am currently facing is the high bills of school for my 3 children who are still at school. 1 child joined University and the tuition is is $486 per semister, the other 2 children are in high school each paying $81 per term. It has become hard for me to fully pay the tuition/school fees for all my school going children and this is because i dont have a stable source income to meet the needs of the family in addition to school dues. The other challange is shortage of food for my family due to flash floods that have always destroyed my garden leading to poor yields which has on the long run led to famine."

"I have built my house but there was no money to plaster. Therefore, when I received my last transfer, I purchased few begs of cement and sand to complete my project."

"I built my house and never had money to plaster it. My children are also in school but couldn't afford to pay their school fees. Therefore, when I received my recent transfer, I used it to settle these problems."

"I hope to complete my house project before next year"

"In my opinion, GiveDirectly did so well by helping me financially. This was the best since we all have different needs therefore we would choose what works well for us. This empowered me to own assets that I think would take years for me to have in my homestead. Therefore all went well and there is no need for them to change their mode of operation."

"I had been using the proceeds from the surplus farm produce to pay school fees and other household bills. There is currently a devastating drought that has left no greener pasture for the livestock, forcing us to sell some of them in order to pay school fees. I am grateful for the second transfer because I had an urgent need to pay school fees for my daughter and daughter-in-law. I paid $200 for their school fees and then spent another $200 to purchase a heifer in an attempt to restart livestock farming after selling all of the livestock in the previous months. I am glad the heifer is growing quickly, and hoping to get a lot of milk when she gives birth. In addition, I used the remaining funds to buy food and new clothes for my family of five."
