I spent the balance money to buy food for my children and also medication for myself. Thanks to Givedirectly for the cash support. I believe that with my transfer from Givedirectly, my dream to live better life in this community will soon come to pass."

"When the money is withdrawn I want to build a house because my family size is very large. This structure that we are living in can't contain everyone of us. I have never had the opportunity to go to school that's why I want to do everything possible to send my children to school."

"Hopefully next year, I want to see myself into a house of my own, this is a dream come true. I'm also planning having an established business, it's often said "business pays a lot" and I agree with this. That's why I will invest into it and have sustainable income."

"I was on the farm doing normal work when I receive the message, I felt so excited because I thought it was a dream. The first thing was to purchase a zinc to build a new house."

"Give Directly has changed the livelihoods of many families in this village. People have constructed iron sheets roofed houses unlike before when most houses were grass thatched. Thanks to you that people can now shop in bulk and stock. Everyone is praising Give Directly all over. What you can improve on is your selection procedure. In my village, I was sad to see hard working youths being excluded in the program and drunkards being given the transfers. Atleast ensure that these hard working youths receive the money because they'll use it wisely."

"My child just started high school and I paid $120 for the first term. I also have two more children in high school of which I had not paid their school fees. The debt had accumulated to $180 and I paid it. I work as a brick mason, getting a daily wage of $30 a week. The money is used to buy food for my family. For a long time paying school fees for my children has been a struggle. A lot of time the children have been sent home which became embarrassing to them and they once opted to stop school. It broke my heart but promised then I will try my best to find the money."

"The organization calling us, which makes me happy. Visiting us at our homes and getting acquitted with where we live is a plus for the organization."

"I would like to dig a borehole and use the water for irrigating my crops. Using tap water is expensive."

"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."
