"My daughter, Tecla, has grappled with a mental illness since the year 2004. She cannot be left alone because she has a tendency of leaving the compound unnoticed and this is dangerous for someone like her. I lock her in the house from morning to evening due to the fact she turns violent. Vandalism is her source of happiness and she likes breaking things like thermos, glasses, and other utensils. This forces me to tie her up on her bed to reduce this destruction. This has been my main challenge and I keep wondering how long will this condition would last."

"In my opinion GiveDirectly does well by giving cash as a form of aid. This gives different people who have different needs an opportunity to meet their needs. The fact that the money is not conditioned makes it even more excellent since people can freely choose to spend the money in what they are so comfortable with and in things that will bring forth more satisfaction too."

"In my opinion GiveDirectly does very well by giving some form of training before the enrollment process. The dissemination of information is very helpful in dispelling rumours and uncertainties that comes with GiveDirectly funds. Giving cash as a form of aid is another game changer that empowers the recipient to do what pleases them or benefit maximumly from the funds."
