"In my opinion, GiveDirectly did well in enrolling the eligible households without discriminating or demanding anything payment. Additionally, through the meeting, the officer trained us, and we were able to get proper awareness of the program before registration. I feel they should change the time they spend operating in the field up to 5:30 which will cater to people who are at work during the time of 8 am to 4 pm."
