"In my opinion, GiveDirectly does well in public relations as they're all polite and I do not see anything that they do not do well."

"In my opinion, GiveDirectly does well by uplifting people's lives through cash transfer and I do not see anything that they do not do well."

"When I received my transfer, I spent around KES 10000 to build a granary for my family. I settled on this so that I will always have a safe place to store my farm produce. This is because I had demolished the house that I usually use in storing farm produce and I knew that most of my farm produce will get wasted if I do not build another jose soon. Also, I bought a heifer and a goat at KES 23000 as a way of saving this money. When the dairy cow reproduces, I will earn some money through the sale of milk. Using the remaining amount, I bought some food and clothes for my family."

"I became so happy the moment I realized that GD had honored their promise of sending the transfer. Having this money in my account gave me hope that I would be able to fulfil my dreams."

"The biggest hardship I face is not having enough food to eat. I have a farm but the yields are always low because they are usually eaten by animals."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I now have a nice, iron-roofed spacious house that I am currently sheltering on. Before GiveDirectly came into my life, I used to shelter in a temporary hut that was grass-thatched and it was so stressful especially during the rainy seasons. We used to squeeze at one corner of the room and still end up being rained on. I had to force some of my children to seek shelter at our neighbor's house to avoid the case of being attacked with some cold-related diseases. However, after receiving my first transfer I had to prioritize constructing a decent house. I am now gald because I had even lost my dignity in society for always seeking shelter from neighbors. We are now living happily as a family and we no longer have to worry about the heavy downpours and my children are healthier as compared to before."

"I spent part of my first transfer in buying some building materials such as iron sheets, building poles, nails, timber and a wooded door which costed a total of KES 45000. This was purposely for the construction of a new house because the previous one, was a single room with a grass thatched roof. Also with the remaining amount of money, I bought enough foodstuffs such as a vegetable, maize flour, and some other household items that I was lacking"

"I had immense joy at that moment I received the transfer. It was the best time of my life seeing such a huge amount in my account. I was so grateful, felt really blessed by the Lord for the promise that was finally coming to pass. To date, I am still happy with the results after putting it into use as it has changed quite a lot that I never expected."

"My life is better because I am now own livestock like other in the village. This is my future investment for my family which will assist me in case of an emergency. Furthermore, I was able to get proper medication for my husband. Previously, I had lacked the enough capital to transport him to and from the hospital and for paying the medical expenses."
