"When I received my transfer I bought a big dairy cow worth KES 40,000, I had started building a house with my first transfer but it was still incomplete, therefore, I used the remaining part of the transfer to complete my house."

"In my opinion, GiveDirectly is doing great work, they are just God-sent and their work is so professional."

"It is evident that my life is different now, I lost my job due to my sickness, I had to sell most of my properties to enable me to seek further medical care. Times are hard therefore the friends that I could depend on were also struggling to make ends meet on their side, I was helpless and the only remaining option was for me to sell a piece of my land. Fortunately, I received my transfer, meaning that I no longer needed to sell my Land, The transfer also helped me in paying back my debts. I am so happy that GiveDirectly came to my aid, May God continues to strengthen the work of the organisation that has impacted all our lives without asking anything in return."

"The biggest hardship I face is not having enough money to buy food for my family. I depend on casual labor to make money and it's always very hard to find piece works every day."

"I was so excited and very grateful for the program..The money meant a lot to me and my household.."

"I used the money to buy materials to finalize the house, i bought a goat"

"GiveDirectly do well by giving out social cash transfers to the poor. These transfers have helped us a lot to improve our day to day lives as we are advised to use the money on things such as building houses and buying household items such as blankets and beds and not using it on beer and other bad things. This is a good thing and GiveDirectly should continue doing this so that other people who are poor should also see their lives transformed. In my opinion, there is nothing done by GiveDirectly which is not done well."

"My life is different because I have managed to see my dreams come true. I am building my house. This is something I did not expect to actually see happening and so I am very happy. I used to live in a shabby house but now will be able to live in a really good one."

"Before I received transfers from Give Directly, I was living in a small house with a grass thatched roof. Since receiving the transfer, I am building a much bigger, nicer house. I am less stressed out and overall a much happier person. Give Directly has brought me peace of mind."

"Give Directly does well in giving us money to solve the problems we face in the villages."
