"In my opinion, Give Directly does well to give aid without taking recipients through long bureaucratic processes and without defrauding vulnerable people."

"In my opinion, Give Directly does well to consider giving transfers to the most vulnerable without attaching strings. Some programmes benefit only a few community member who are not even vulnerable. GD does not do well to leave out village leaders while giving transfers."

"The moment I received the transfer, I felt very happy since I thought it was a scam and upon seeing the transfer I truly believed that GiveDirectly truly fulfills its promises to the poorest households."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is the peace I experience after paying the dowry which was bringing tension between my inlaws and I."

"The biggest difference in our lives is being able to eat and sleep well. Having a source of income through our sugarcane plantation is another good thing that has happened to us."

"The moment I received the transfer I felt very happy. I was cultivating my parcel of land and upon reading the message and confirming that GiveDirectly had sent the money, I jumped with joy since I knew that my child who had already been sent away because of the pending arrears would go back to school ."

"When I received the transfer, I felt very happy because I've never touched such amount of money in one go."

"When I received the money, I was very happy because the burden of looking for school fees for my children had been catered for. Thank you GD."

"The moment I received the transfer, I felt very happy since I was certain of my family having a meal and enough food to feed on because as at that time I had no money even to provide basic needs for my family."

"I felt very happy,I knew that was my time to have a new roof.Thanks you GD."
