"In my opinion, GiveDirectly is such a unique organization becasue ever since I was born I have never come across any organization which gives out unconditional money which is non-refundable. The entire village has now changed and this is evident through the livestock that most of on which still feels like a dream to us. Also, the beautiful houses whereby back in the days they were just temporary huts. On the other hand, GiveDirectly has not done anything wrong." (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)

"My life is different than how it would have been if I never received the transfers in that I have bought a dairy cow. I used to buy milk and it was so costly for me. I am a motorcycle taxi rider and the amount of money that I get through this is so small and I was not in a position to buy a dairy cow. Currently I own a dairy cow and I no longer buy milk. The amount of money that I could have used to buy milk I invest on other income generating project like poultry keeping. I am so happy because GiveDirectly has changed my living standard and for the people in my village." (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)

"When I received my transfers, I spent around 20000 to buy some timber to use in building a shop. We are planning to use our second transfer to open a shop where we will be selling all household provisions and we thought it wise to build our own room instead of renting it. Also, I bought a heifer worth KES 12000 as a way of investing this money. When it reproduces, I will be able to sale milk to my neighbors and use the income to support my children's education. Using the remaining amount, I bought some clothes, food and other household necessities for my family." (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)
