"GiveDirectly Staff spoke well and politely to us, all our questions were addressed well, I don't see anything that they didn't do well."

"My life is different now in that, I normally depend on farming to sustain my family basic needs and school fees, which is rarely enough, for now, I am comfortable that I have cleared all my school fees arrears and that I have a poultry project running, therefore am hopeful that I will earn a living out of it. My family and I are so grateful for the financial support which changed our lives."

"GiveDirectly supported us at a time of need, in my opinion, their work is well organised and I don't see anything that is not done well."

"School fees have been my major priority, therefore when I received my transfer I used KES 10,000 to start a goat rearing farming, then the remaining part of the transfer I saved to use for school fees when school reopen."

"The biggest hardship that I face is lack of food. I face this hardship because I am not to raise enough money to buy food. This happens on the days that I have not found a job for that day."

"I am very happy to receive this money. This money will help me solve some of my problems such as lack of food and school fees for my children."

"This money means a lot to me. I am a business person so I will use the money to add as capital to my business. I sell fish and I hope that the business will grow."
