"I used 38,000 KES to pay my son in high school fee. I also purchased family foodstuffs and other household items with the remaining amount."

"In my opinion, GiveDirectly did well by fulfilling promises on a voluntary basis and this reduced misconception about the organisation in my community. "

"GiveDirectly staffs are so polite and tolerant to us. Above all they are the best in their selection of the most needy households in the village and giving them direct support without biasness or corruption."

"I spent my third transfer on investing in sugarcane planting. I come from an area with a sugar company, but has never gotten an opportunity to supply it with raw materials as other members of the society. It has been a wish in me to have a sugarcane plantation, but resources to finance it has always been an obstacle. I am glad with GiveDirectly for enabling me fulfill my wish."

"I spent my third transfer on installing electricity at 38,000 KES, bought a sack of maize at 4,000 KES then used the rest on food for the house."

"I am very happy with the way Give Directly alleviates poverty-they give us money and we decide where to spend it but I am not fully satisfied with the amount they gave us-they should add the poorest more money since most of our projects are still underway."

"My life is different than it would have been if I never received the transfer in that, I own cattles which are healthy, I have my shop business which is doing well and electricity which has been of great help to the whole family members."

"Currently, I live in a better house, I am very connected to the world and updated on everything happening around me and finally, I am food secure-I plow my farms in time and harvest in time courtesy of Give Directly. I have actually made a great step in life that if it were not transfers from Give Directly, I wouldn't have been there."

"My life is different than it would have been if I never received transfers from Give Directly in that currently, I live in a better house-one which is more attractive and conducive for living. Besides these mentioned, we no longer stay in the dark since we acquired a solar panel that we endlessly consume. Generally, these accounts for my improved living standard."

"As we talk, I live in my own home-a place where I freely plan and execute all my development plans without any intimidation or constraints. I am just enjoying being in my own home courtesy of Give Directly. If it were not transfers from Give Directly, I wouldn't have achieved this tremendous change!"
