"GiveDirectly gave us the freedom to choose what to spend on. This was very unique about this program as each one of us has got different needs. For me, I didn't notice anything that wasn't done well this project."

"To me, GiveDirectly did very well by giving us lump sum amount. This has enabled us to change our lives tremendously. I don't see what GiveDirectly never did right. The work was so perfect."

"In my opinion, Give Directly does well by giving money to individual and let them decide on how to spend it. This has enabled people to achieve a lot. I was able to meet most of my needs that I could not purchase without the Give Directly transfers. On the other hand, I have not seen any areas where Give Directly needs to improve on."

"The biggest hardship we always face is shortage of food. Since we depend on subsistence farming,we still end up selling most of it to cover day to day expenses such as school fees, groceries and others. Hence, we do not have adequate income to cover those expenses and we sell the maize available."

"The biggest hardship i currently have is shelter,apparently my house together with my sleeping place is pathetic,i have been living like this for over 20 years and I'm hopeful that change is about to come."

"Mnyumba kumalizitsa mbuzi matrs. As you can see we have a house that needs to be finished so we will use the money to finish the house, we will also buy goats for business and matress at least we should be sleeping on a good place"

"It will mean alot to us as we are lacking alot of things like finishing up our house and also our child wants to go to South Africa to look for green pastures and through this money we will be able to fulfil all our needs"

"Food access has been a challenge"

"The biggest challenge has been hunger"

"The program has come at a right time and i am really grateful for being considered in the program. My house is very small and I intend to build a big one. I also plan of starting a business. Basically, I will be selling second hand clothes."
