"In my opinion, GiveDirectly did well in sending us money which has uplifted the living standards of the recipients in our community. GiveDirectly should inform the community prior to their visits for them to reach the entire community."

"My life is different in that I now own a business which provide my family with the basic needs. Without GD, I couldn't have been able to fend for my family since the demise of my spouse. I think I could have been working for people in the village to earn a living."
