"I spent my third transfer on connecting electricity and tap water in my house and the rest on buying a cupboard and a bag of maize for consuming with my family."

"In my opinion, GD does well by giving cash and allowing the recipients to tackle their needs as they prioritize."

"In my opinion, Give Directly has done exceptionally well as compared to all the NGOs that has worked in the village before. Its direct cash transfer has left a legacy worth remembering in the whole village."

"Receiving this money means that I will pay school fees for my son who is in high school and repair my house which is not in a very good condition."

"In my opinion, GiveDirectly did well by giving money directly to the poorest households through their Mpesa accounts and this enabled the targeted group to truly get the money."

"Were it not for the transfers, my life would have been very pathetic. The life I lived before involved a lot of frustrations and sufferings that no single man would wish to live. I depended entirely on relatives for any support I needed which most of them could not be acquired."

"I spent my transfer on paying school fee for my child for the first term. I the piped tapped water to my compound and now I do not have to buy water from vendors. I then built a modern pit latrine because my other latrine was almost collapsing and it was also filled up. I then spent the rest of the transfer on buying a sack of corn which we have been using as food during this dry season."

"My life is different than it would have been if I never received the transfer in that I have paid school fees for my son in a vocational training collge for a driving course.Right now he is through with his course and his already employed.I have enough food to feed with my family thus I no longer borrow food as I used to."

"I spent most of my transfer to livestock which I can later exchange for a cattle. I also bought household items and bedding which I did not have before. "

"In my opinion, GD does well by giving the cash directly to the poor for them to managed their lives as they deem fit."
