"It has been a rough struggle meeting timelines in paying school fees for all my three children who are still schooling. Having cleared it now is the biggest difference in my life since it has given me a chance to work on other projects alongside the new just completed house. Such peace of mind has never been before and currently, our focus as a household on other projects is working best for us."

"The complete construction of a house that had been hanging due to the pressing bills both at home and school is the biggest difference in my daily life. This has been my prayer, and I am glad that GiveDirectly came with an answer. I am now living better with my family as we are enjoying the comfort of a new house with everything new in it."

"In my opinion, I feel GiveDirectly has been offering us the best services and I must mention that it is a unique organization. First of all, the aid was in form of money and this granted us the opportunity to choose according to our heart desires. Also, the cash transfers were nonrefundable and unconditional unlike the other NGOs and this made it stood out"

"It has meant happiness and my poverty coming to an end. My family will benefit slot from this money."

"I spent part of my second transfer on buying a sewing machine at KES 15000. This has been my dream to own it for quite some time but I couldn't afford to purchase it becsue it was soo expensive. Also, I bought a dairy at KES 17000 and a goat KES 5000 and they now serve as the assets that I can lean on anytime. With the remaining amount, I bought enough food and decent clothes for my children"

"When I was young i was diagnosed with polio and from then I could not be able to walk without the help of clutches and I mostly rely on my children to provide me food"

"It has meant a receiving a financial solution for my family and I plan to renovate my house."

"I spent part of my second transfer on buying some building poles, twenty pieces of iron sheets at KES 820, threads, nails, a metal door, and timber. This was was for the construction of a new house becasue the initial one was very small and some of my family members to seek shelter from neighbors. I gave the Masson KES 13000 as the labour charges. With the remaining amount of money, I bought enough food that will sustain us for the next few weeks."

"In my opinion, GiveDirectly does well since it has been of great help to my village making transforming our lives positively. This is clearly seen especially on the houses we own now, they are all iron-roofed, unlike the previous ones which were grass thatched and mud-walled. Their condition was for sure not pleasing but for now, everything has changed. Also, I do not see any part that GD failed us."

"In my opinion, GiveDirectly did so well in the whole village considering the idea of giving out unconditional cash transfers that improved our standards of living especially fr the poor individuals which have never happened before. Most of us now have nice houses and its now rare to find the temrprampary huts that filled the whole village. Also, I do not see any sector GiveDirectly failed us."
