Beatrice
received a $398 third payment.
"My life is different than it would have been if I never received the transfer in a way that I am now independent since I have my own house built using GD transfers. Previously, I used to stay in my in-law's house and our family was not independent. "

Livingstone

Mirabu
received a $398 third payment.
"GD doesnot harrass us because they are helping us in other words they treat us with respect and in my opinion by doing so, they do well. However they do not do well by only giving us 3 transfers. I would prefer the transfers given to us to be continous to allow us to put all our plans into action because i personally bought land on which i plan to construct a house but i dont know where i will get the money to do so since i have exhausted my transfers."

Juma
received a $398 third payment.
"In my opinion GD does well by not asking for any money to enroll recipients into the program. Unlike how its done in several places these days that to receive something, you must give first."

Margrat
received a $398 third payment.
"In my opinion GD does well by following up on the transfers and also doing accountability to ensure that all recipients receive the rightful amount of money. However it does not do well by making women recipients since this has made most of them to become rebellious and also treat their husband's with little or no respect just because they are in charge of the money.
