"In my opinion, the fact that we were allowed to make our own decisions on what to use the money for was very good. I can suggest that the organization continues helping all the needy people. "

"In my opinion, GD does well by giving the cash directly to the recipients without exposing the recipients."

"I spent my third transfer on purchasing 2 cows to aid me in the payment of my wife's dowry. It's been a big challenge living illegally with the spouse as luo customs demanded that a man must pay pride price before settling with a woman for a marriage. Honestly, I couldn't afford this and thus had to stay in a rental house far away from home where the lady's parents could not trace us and take away their daughter."

"The biggest difference in my life is the good health and shelter I have gained after receiving transfers. I have managed to build myself a good house and seek medication after being ill for a long time. May God bless GiveDirectly."

"If I would not have received the money, I would not have managed to pay for my children their school fees and also I would not be sitting on a good seats now. Thank you GD."

"In my opinion, GiveDirectly did well by sending us money directly and through Mpesa which is more convenient and safe. I have not seen anything they did not do well."

"I spent the larger part of my third transfer on cultivating one acre of land in preparation of planting rice 30,000 KES and now I am planting rice on a large scale thus I am sure of goods yields at the end of this planting season from the sale I will save with the intention of building my homestead.I paid school fees for my child who is in high school 10,000 KES and bought scholastic materials too.I bought one bags of maize for my family's consumption."

"I spent my third transfer on buying 2 oxen which I am currently using for ploughing my farms and leasing out to neighbors at a fee. I then installed steel doors and windows to my house to give it more security. I spent the rest of the cash on building a small kitchen because I have been cooking outside and it is not very hygienic or good looking."

"My life is difference in that all my prperty in the compound are safe compared to the days when any body could pass by and pick anything because it was exposed. Apart from that ,I no longer beg for chairs when having visitors because the ones I purchased are enough. Without GD support, I couldn't have moved all these steps since I didn't have any reliable source of income."

"My life is different than it would have been if I never received the transfer in that, I have my own motorcycle bought using the second transfer that I use to ferry people around hence get more profits unlike before. I also feel happy in the new house because it is spacious than the previous one."
