"I spent my transfer on building a new house. I have always an ironsheet roofed house and this is has been my chance. I am grateful for it"

"This money means a lot to me. My house fell during the rainy season. It was until recently that I started making some bricks to build a new house. The house I am living in now is incomplete and I asked the owner to live in it as I wait to build mine. As soon as I receive my transfer, I will buy already baked bricks to build a new house. I will use the bricks I am making to build a kitchen."

"I do not see any wrong that Give Directly may have done. Give Directly has opened doors for us. We had no way of ever achieving our dream of having a nice house and a business. Give Directly is truly changing lives."

"The recipient now has good Shelter and enough food and is so thankful"

"The biggest difference is that I am a proud owner of a dairy cow, This was in my plan before but I could not afford it due to financial constraints and lack of a reliable income, we prioritised paying school with any little amount that came our way so that the kids could not be sent home, I am so grateful that I managed to clear their fee arrears, I feel so relieved and settled, I no longer worry on selling any of our belonging. We thank the organisation for the unconditional transfer that impacted our lives positively."

"When I received my transfer, I spent KES 9000 in buying 3 goats so as to enable me to start a goat rearing business, the remaining part of the transfer I used it in building a house which I have always wanted but that was not realised because of the financial constraint."

"In my opinion, GiveDirectly does a good job, they follow up on their recipient just to make sure that they received their transfers as promised, our village standard of living has gone up and we are all happy and grateful.GiveDirectly does it work professionally and I don't see anything we are not doing right."

"Before receiving my transfer, I used to work in one of the bakery shop in Limuru town. The pay was at times low and I would be forced to take loans in order to meet my family's basic needs and also pay for my house rent on time. The transfers enabled me to open my own shop and due to this, I am able to meet my family's needs on time. Also, I get to practice what I love most without any restrictions. Being self employed had made my life different that how it would have been had I not received the transfer."

"My life is different than how it would have been had I not received the transfer. This is because I am now a proud owner of a dairy cow. Due to this, I no longer buy milk anymore and it is also almost calving. In addition, my husband business is now doing well as we have more customers. This has been contributed by the fact that we were able to boost it through buying more stock."

"In my opinion, GiveDirectly does well by giving out financial aid and I do not see anything that they do not do well."
