"In my opinion, GiveDirectloy does well by offering permanent solutions to our long-time problems. Everyone in my village now has a decent house, our children are studying without any disturbances, we own livestock. This was as a result of being helped financially and allowed to utilize the money according to our heart desires."

"I am very happy to be included in the programe, as you can see my child has been down for some months now, we have tried to go to different hospitals around but to no avail. I will use part of the fund to go to Mangochi with my child so she can get expert medical attention. Further I want to use part of the fund to extend and renovate my house with my husband."

"In my opinion, I can confidently admit that GveDirectly did a splendid job in my village. This is becasue each one of us was allowed to go for whatever he or she would wish to purchase. This made some of us to different assets in our households and it has made us proud."

"My life is now different than it would have been if I had not received my transfer in that my life is empowered, I was jobless but through this transfer, I was able to start a grocery business which is earning me an income. Also, I have a decent house for my family since my house had collapsed along time ago and I was sleeping in a small house which belongs to my neighbour."

"I spent my second transfer to finish off the construction of my house by purchasing timber, nails, 15 iron sheets for $160, and spend 80 dollars to pay for labor charges. This is because I did have enough money to purchase the roofing material need. Also, I purchased comfortable beddings for myself, previously, I use to sleep on a traditional bed without any beddings. The remaining amount I paid school fees for my child who is in class 5."

"My life has different in many ways since I started receiving my transfer. Through the transfer, I was able to purchase a cow which it could I have taken many years to own, I am hoping it will reproduce and increase the herd of cattle.I was also able to complete the construction of my house which I had stopped due to lack of enough money. In addition, I was able to clear the fee arrears of my children."

"I will remove those grasses on my house roof and put ironsheets sheets, i will put cement on my floor, glass Windows in short i will finish up my house and i promise you my house will look beautiful it has been in my heart to finish up my house but i had no money so this money will mean alot to me as i will fulfill my wish."

"Not able to build a proper and good house for the family due to lack of money."

"I spent part of my second transfer on buying livestock which includes goats. It has always been my dream to own them but I could not afford them because they were quite expensive and because of my low wages I couldn't afford them. In addition to that, I had to clear the huge fee balance of KES 31000 for my son who is in his third year. He is no now studying comfortably without the worry of being sent home to collect fees as he used to do. Also, I brought enough food and decent clothes fir for my children and I to replace the oldines that were not in a pleasant state at all"

"In my opinion, GiveDirectly has done well in giving out cash grant to poor households in our village Most importantly, I am happy for being part of the beneficiaries. Also, the independence of the organization was a good decision because there is no government influence which reduces a lot of corruption."
