"The biggest hardship am facing is am living in a grass thatched house and it leaks whenever it rains."

"Receiving this money means I'll be able to renovate my house then buy household items and cattle."

"My life is so different since I began receiving transfers from GiveDirectly. First the house that I live in today, has made me develop a strong confidence as I interact my people in the village."

"I spent my third transfer to build a house since I had an old house which was almost falling down."

"GiveDirectly has uplifted the living standards of the poor in the community and brought alot of development in our community"

"Generally, I can talk of improved living standard in my household; first, I have managed to enroll my son in a good secondary school and I am glad he is getting the right education, besides, I have hopes in life. I thought I would live in a rental house for the rest of my life but when I got this money, I acquired all building materials and very soon I will be moving to my own home. This is how my life is different than it would have been if I never received the transfer."

"In my own opinion, what Give Directly does well is that it works with enthusiasm. Most of its staff works with energy and determination. However, I would urge it considers including more recipients for the transfers as opposed to the smaller number that was included."

"When I received my third transfer, I spent it on areas where I had acute shortages. The first one was furniture and I spent on a sofa set and a table and the second and last one was a kitchen where I spent on utensils. "

"My life is different in that I now live in a descent house. I had a structure like house and couldn't a afford a better one it due to financial challenges. I'm sure without GD, I couldn't have built the house."

"I spent most of my third transfer to buy a sofa set which I have always admired and longed for. I also bought a bigger bed and a high density mattress for a more comfortable sleep and also bought twenty tins of maize for my family's consumption."
