"In my interaction with the GiveDirectly staff, I will say that they are approachable and friendly, they treat everyone with respect irrespective of their social class. I don't see anything that is not done well."

"My main goal was to build a decent house, therefore, when I received it, I bought building material and started the construction, I also used part of the transfer to boost my business so that I would have a reliable source of income throughout the year."

"GiveDirectly has impacted the lives of so many people positively in my village, the process is transparent and they keep to their promises."

"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."

"The biggest difference is that we now have enough food for the entire household and we will now be living in a better house as we will be plastering it."

"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."

"I am planning on buying food and building a house with my transfer"

"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."

"After receiving the second transfers, I bought 29 Iron sheets, window and door frames, wires and nails for the house I am renovating with the first money."
