"Give Directly does well in giving people money so that they solve their problems in the way they see it."

"Our basic needs are now taken care of well without any difficulties. Before GiveDirectly came, we used to sleep in a very dilapidated house, but with the first transfer that I received I was able to build a decent house."

"With these transfers, I managed to buy three sacks of maize. This was a guarantee that my family and I will have sufficient food in the next couple of months. I also bought two goats to add to the previous herd that I had bought with the first transfer. With the remaining part of transfer, I did a customary wedding which was a great success."

"GiveDirectly do well by giving enough money to us as part of the social cash transfers unlike other social cash transfers which give less money. For example GiveDirectly gave me k297300 as my second transfers which helped me to buy things like mattresses and to pay the builder who was building my house that I had some money left to use for other things at home. With the other social cash transfers, we could get as little as k20,000 which was just enough to buy food at home and not for one to manage to do a big thing like building a house. In my opinion, there is nothing done by GiveDirectly that is not done well."

"My biggest harship has been providing for my family. We have often run out of food and that will be improved with this program"

"Receiving this money will allow me to improve my house on a few ideas I had. I need to plasta and cement the floor. So that my house can be comfortable. I will also use this money to grow my grocery business."

"My biggest hardship, considering I'm a widow, has been being able to steadily provide for my family. Putting food on my table and also my house being damaged has really been a challenge for me."

"I spent part of my first transfer on buyng iron sheets, nails, building poles, timber and timber, and the required cost of labor. This was for the construction of a new hose becasue the previous one had collapsed and I have been sheltering at my brother-in-law's house. Also, I bought beddings such as a new mattress and bedsheets to replace the old ones. With the remaining amount of money, I bought enough foodstuffs for my family."

"Giving recipients unconditional cash transfers was a brilliant idea. With so much corruption in our country, it is difficult for the people deserving of aid to get the help directly. So by doing this, GD has really helped us. We have managed to receive the money and have used it to change our lives in ways other projects by other NGOs have not managed to do."

"The biggest hardship I have faced in my life is not being able to take care of my children I do business, I sell vegetables but business is not doing well at all, it is almost a loss."
