"Giving everyone cash and letting us plan it by ourselves was a very good way of solving our financial constraints."

"Instead of Give Directly considering to enrol those with mobiles only, they gave us an option of getting the phone and paying for it later with the transfer which was really good because even the most vulnerable person who could not afford it by all means was not left out, and the best part of it is, we get to own the phone even after the program ends."

"when Give Directly gave us the transfers as individuals rather than giving it to one person in charge of a family and without any conditions as well, it encouraged unity in households because every home had to come together to plan for the money or at least every individual that received the transfers in the village became very financially responsible."

"I used the second transfer to pay school fees for one of my sons in college using ksh 36000, this was the only we had then he will be done with college in about one year. Since I did not want to have money without an actual plan, I bought enough food for the family and a cow to ensure that I did not end up wasting any of it."

"I used the second transfers to buy two cows that are expectant right now, so by next year, we will be in a position to start supplying milk as a business. I also bought clothes and shoes for the entire family especially school uniform since my kids were wearing worn out clothes on a daily basis."

"In my mind GiveDirectly is doing well because they are helping the poor to improve their lives. As for me I have not observed anything that GiveDirectly did not do well."

"In my mind GiveDirectly is doing well for me because they are helping me with money which I can easily pay my children tuition. As for me I have not observed anything that GiveDirectly is not doing well."

"My recent transfer I am planning to buy Zinc and Nails to build new house."

"In my mind GiveDirectly is doing well because they are helping people that can not easily afford like some of us. My dreams of buying land will come to reality with the help of GiveDirectly. As for me I have not seeing anything that GiveDirectly is not doing well."

"When I received my first transfer I was feeling fine because this money will help me improve my house."
