"Give direct did a good job lifting lives my only wish would be for them to continue."

"I spent most of my third transfer to pay school fees for my grandson who was joining high school. I also spent some amount to prepare my land ready for planting when the rains fall."

"I spent the whole of the third transfer to pay dowry to our in-laws so l bought cow and the remaining balance I gave them as a token."

"We spent on buying a calf and two oxen for ploughing. I also bought farm fertilizers and paid fees for my spouse who is taking a course in driving for his future employment opportunities."

"I spent most of my third transfer to buy a bull which will aid in ploughing my farms. I bought a n ox-drawn plough and also paid school fees for my child who is in high school."

"In my own opinion, what Give Directly does well is that it sends us money directly and intact but the amount it sent to us never suffice. I would personally say that some of my projects are still underway and I haven't accomplished all of them yet. I ask them (Give Directly's officials) next time to make it a little bit higher even to new places they are moving into."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that i now own a bigger house that makes me proud"

"GiveDirectly had done well in improving the living standards of the poorest households who could not make it on my own. May they continue to reach out to other needy people in various communities."

"GiveDirectly is doing a good job in changing our lives through sending direct transfers, so many households including mine are living a reasonable life today after meeting their basic needs.They also show concern through follow ups to ensure the money is spent well. I can urge them to do field follow-ups and observe the great development impact they have brought in our villages."

"I spent my third transfer on paying my wife's dowry. I developed a very bad relationship with my in-laws for failure to pay their daughter's dowry in time. Despite the poor life that we lived, these people still thought that I didn't just wish to settle the dowry payment. They kept on threatening me of taking back their daughter if I failed to pay the dowry in the stipulated period of one month. I almost ran mad from this, as I wondered how I would raise the children we already had in the absence of the wife."
