"In my opinion, I like the idea being sent via mpesa because it minimizes theft and loss of the transfer unlike if it were cash. I suggest that the amount of the transfer be increased to enable us accomplish the various projects that we started and have stalled."

"My life is different than it would have been if I never received the transfer in that I now have my own cow which am milking, unlike before when I used to take black tea or spend a lot on milk whenever I had a guest."

"I spent most of the third transfer to renovate my father's house since it was almost collapsing down. I also spent the transfer to build a kitchen for my children to have a place where they can spent their night."

"GiveDirectly did well in sending recipients transfer and leaving to make their own decisions on how to spend the money. I have not seen anything they did not do well."

"I am currently living in a better house-a more secure one, more attractive and spacious enough for my household members. I believe that if it were not cash transfers from Give Directly, I wouldn't have been here, the house I live today."

"In my opinion, GiveDirectly did well by embracing voluntary participation on enrolling recipients who were eligible for the transfers. However GiveDirectly did not do well since they never followed up recipients to their homes to see how the recipients spent the money."

"I spent my third transfer on repaying a loan that I had in our savings group, invested some amount in my business which is doing well and built a kitchen to have a separate cooking place. I also plastered my house and used most of the transfer on paying fees for my daughter who has just joined high school to proceed with her education."

"My life is different than it would have been without cash transfer in that I have established a source of income, courtesy of Give Directly, that supports my household needs as opposed to before then when I could beg to support my family. It is a livestock business and I am happy that it picked well-I sell cows, goats and sheep."

"My life different than it would have been if l never received the transfer is that, l could not have manage to take my children to school and to build a spacious house."

"In my opinion, Give Directly has done perfectly well as compared to all the NGOs I have seen around the village. The fact that Give Directly offers unconditional cash transfers has greatly brought a difference with other organisations. People have varied needs and therefore giving them unconditional cash is the best decision ever. On the other hand, I feel that Give Directly should in future think of a way of pooling all the transfers and coming up with a project, say an industry, to create permanent job opportunities for the poor."
