"The organisation has polite and disciplined field officer There is nothing that i think they can change"

"In my perspective, GiveDirectly is performing admirably, significantly improving the living standards of many in our community. Previously, a considerable number of individuals struggled and relied solely on casual labor for sustenance. However, the cash support provided by GiveDirectly has empowered them to make strategic investment choices, effectively elevating their living conditions. The sensitization meetings conducted by GiveDirectly have played a crucial role, fostering responsible spending habits and leading to a notable reduction in misuse of funds. I am hopeful that the same effective approach will be applied in other villages, ensuring a positive impact on their communities as well."

"The most profound change in my life since receiving the transfers is the realization of my long-term dream of owning land. I am now one step closer to achieving this dream after making the initial payment. The happiness I feel is immeasurable, and I extend my sincere gratitude to GiveDirectly for their noble act of assisting the less fortunate members of our society."

"Looking ahead to the coming year, my greatest accomplishment will be ensuring my son's complete recovery and his return to a healthy and normal life. This will entail providing him with the utmost care and securing the necessary medical attention he deserves. The financial assistance I have received has been invaluable in enabling me to work towards achieving this goal, and I am truly grateful for it."

"The most significant transformation in my life has been the newfound experience of sleeping on a comfortable mattress. Throughout my entire existence, I had never known such comfort. Thanks to the financial support from GiveDirectly, I can now enjoy a restful and comfortable night's sleep, marking a remarkable difference in my life."

"Looking ahead, my plan is to complete the renovations on my house by constructing strong stone-walled pillars around the premises. This will enhance the safety and stability of the house, providing me with peace of mind and ensuring my well-being. I extend my heartfelt gratitude for the financial assistance I have received thus far through the transfers."

"My income from cutting and selling chewing sticks is limited, and the cash transfers have been a relief in easing the financial stress. I've always desired to own goats, but financial constraints, such as the school fees for my six children, have held me back. Before the cash transfers, I had no livestock, but now I've been able to start with three hens. Despite the financial constraints, my goal is to have at least six goats before the transfers end in the next few years. I believe that through livestock keeping, I can create wealth to support my children's education."

"Before the cash transfers come to an end, my goal is to have a new house. Our current dwelling is in poor condition, with a corroded roof that lets in water during rain, making the space uncomfortably cold. To achieve this, I plan to continue saving part of the cash transfers through my self-help group. When the group dissolves after one year, I intend to use the savings to purchase building materials like iron sheets and building poles. Additionally, I wish to continue buying goats; with one already acquired, I aim to accumulate at least five. As they reproduce, I can sell them to support the ongoing needs of my family."

"Looking ahead to next year, I plan to use the upcoming two transfers to buy new school uniforms for my four children in upper primary classes. Some of their current uniforms are tattered, and the school has requested a change to new clothing upon resumption, or else they will be sent back home. Furthermore, when the cash transfers end, I aim to have bought goats. Financial constraints in recent months, such as covering food and school fees, hindered me from acquiring goats. I am determined to have purchased at least some goats by the end of the transfer period, as they will play a crucial role in supporting my children's education. When they finish primary school and need funds for junior high school enrollment, the goats will prove invaluable."

"Throughout the time I've been receiving the cash transfers, I've always desired to own livestock, specifically goats. However, household constraints like school fees for my three children and food expenses have always been obstacles. Moving forward, my goal is to start keeping livestock. With the children on holiday, funds won't be constrained by tuition for the next two months. I aim to buy at least two goats. Even after the children resume school, I hope to continue saving for this venture so that by the time the cash transfers end, I can have at least five of them. These goats could be exchanged for cattle in the future as they reproduce, assisting me in farming activities like plowing."
