"My life is different than it would have been if I never received the transfer in that I have been able to pay school fees for my two children who are in university and college respectively with ease and now they are through with their studies as they are yet to graduate . I feel happy and joyful since without GiveDirectly I could have mostly relied on loan to finance my children's education. I have also placed tiles partly on the floor of my house and now I don't get exposed to frequent dust as I used to."

"My life is different in that I have the hopes of soon staying in a cemented house. This will save my spouse the headache of looking for mud and cow dung to repair our house."

"In my opinion, GiveDirectly did well by explaining to my villages what it entailed on the onset of the transfer related program. It went and extra-mile of explaining the intent of the money that was being sent."

"I spent 45000 KES of my third transfer on my mothers funeral arrangement and use the rest on buying iron sheets."

"I spent most of my third transfer to buy cattle which I have used to pay dowry for my wife and also took some amount of monye to my in-law's as dowry. I spent some amount to buy half sack of maize for consumption and the remaining amount, I spent to buy some household goods which I did not have."

"In my opinion,GiveDirectly did well by giving the poor money which was un-refundable in my village and now the living standards of this households have improved greatly as they have acquired what they didn't know they could have in life."

"Were it not for the transfers, my children would have dropped out of school at primary level. Secondly, I would still be the poor Serfin that I was before, walking here and there as I beg for help."

"My life is different in that I now have a reliable source of income from my horticulture farming."

"In my opinion, GiveDirectly did well in sending us transfers directly and exact amount as promised. GiveDirectly should sensitize the community members especially in the areas mostly frequented like markets and churches but not majorly barazas which are always poorly attended."

"In my opinion, Gd does well in improving peoples living standards by giving them cash and allowing them ti spend it on what they lack. On the other hand Gd should put more effort in sensitizing people about the money avoid the rumors of Gd being Illuminati."
