"In my opinion, GiveDirectly did well by giving unconditional cash transfers to the less- unfortunate households in my village and as a result it lead to drastic improvement in the living standards of this individual households as the paid school fees to their children and built decent spacious houses too."

"If I would not have received the transfer, I would not have revived my cereal business which had long collapsed and also I would not have built the two houses, mine and for my late co-wife. Thank you GD for the transfer"

"In my opinion, what Give Directly does well is that it works with no corruption but it does no do well by failing to investigate and observe on the ground what people did with the money."

"In my opinion, what Give Directly did well was serving us with a lot of transparency-it promised us money and we received the exact amount but I was not pleased with the fact that it was only in 3 batches. I wish it could be a basic income for a longer term period just the same way it is done for the elderly."

"When I received my third transfer, I completed the construction of my 30 iron-sheets house, cleared hospital bills for my son who had been admitted in the hospital-I am glad that as we speak, he is more stable. Lastly, I spent the remaining 10300 KES on 5 sheep and I am I feel more contented and appreciative."

"I spent my third transfer on paying school fees for my son in secondary school and another at the university. The remaining amount I spent on buying building materials that I am planning to use to build a new house. My current house is almost collapsing. I have saved the remaining for my rice plantation."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that my standards of living have greatly improved especially to the extent that I can provide daily food to my family members without skipping any as they used to do before transfers."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I am also so happy especially now that I on a cattle. I believe that one day I will also be a re-known farmer in the future."

"The biggest hardship I am facing is how to start a business to help sustain our family. "

"GD people are very friendly and they always treat us with respect so they do well by doing so."
