"I believe that the aid provided by GiveDirectly greatly improved our quality of life and had a transformative impact on our community. They offered equal support and empowerment to everyone, without any discrimination. The awareness sessions they conducted at the village level were highly informative, particularly about the security of Mpesa, and helped us to guard against fraudsters. I did not observe any shortcomings or lack of integrity in their efforts."

"Givedirectly is a good organization . They have helped me in to continue my existing business and im so happy that I'm doing well in my business. Things were very difficult from rhe beginning but with the help of Givedirectly I can add up my business with goods that customers in my community needs."

"Givedirectly is helping me be self supporter"

"Givedirectly has enforced my plan for building a new house."

"I hope to complete my house before this year end"

"In the next one year and beyond I hope to accomplish a lot and my plans are more clear now that I have received a transfer from GiveDirectly. I am happy with what I have been able to accomplish so far and looking forward to making much more informed decisions that will improve my life and that of my family as a whole. Once I get my second transfer of $450, I intend to use the money to buy water pipes that will help me irrigate my five acre farm and increase crop production from it. Once this is established, I will then quit the matatu job that I am currently doing and concentrate fully on farming. I stay in a five acre piece of land that is situated between two rivers. This will make it easier for me to implement this plan that I have had in mind for the longest time now. I also have a neighbour 2ho started off as a young farmer but who has now advanced with the help of irrigation from these two rivers. He is willing to give me the guidance that I so much need to see this implemented. This project shall greatly improve my life and that of my whole family and make us have better living standards generally. In this farm I will be planting bananas, mangoes and oranges."
