"When I received my third transfer, I invested it in livestock and crop farming-I bought a cow and 4 sheep and grew Kales. I love farming and therefore receiving this money was a great impetus to my growth."

"I can now afford to take care of my family because I invested my money in horticultural farming and also I have water which I sell to our community members. Thank you GD"

"I used a portion of the transfer to buy cupboard. Bought a young cow with a portion of the transfer. I purchased foodstuffs and other household items. Besides, I'm still having 10,000 KES which I'll pay fee to my son in high school."

"Initially, I was homeless. I used to sleep in my uncle's house where I never had freedom but now, I have my own home where I have full freedom. Villagers are no longer mocking me of being homeless. That is how my life is different than it would have been if I never received the transfer."

"My life is different in that I now have adequate food supply from my farm. Besides, I no longer pay people to help me repair my house since I managed to cement both walls and floor of my house with the second transfer."

"My life is different in that I now enjoy my sleep because I managed to buy a new mattress since the one I had was too thin and uncomfortable. Currently my family has a reliable source of income from the motorcycle business which we(my spouse and I) purchased using the second transfer and as we speak, from the business(motorcycle transport business) my spouse has managed to buy building materials and soon we are going to establish our home."

"In my opinion, what Give Directly does well is that it sends money directly to our phones but it would be better they also consider empowering orphans individually to pursue their dreams in life."

"When I received my third transfer, I spent on a cow and bedding. These are some of the things I lacked most but I am now glad that I sleep more comfortably and again, I have an asset-the cow."

"In my opinion, what GD does well is that it really help the deserving in the community. At the moment, I'm not aware of what GD doesn't do well."

"In my opinion what Give Directly does well is that it sends us money directly but many people are poor and therefore it needs to reach them as well."
