"GiveDirectly can help people financially for them to be able to sustain their family and development their community , GiveDirectly does not take water from or food or anything from people."

"In my opinion, GiveDirectly does everything well. For example, there's now water accessibility in my house because through the transfers I bought a big plastic water tank which can store volumes of water. In addition, there are great transformations in our village. Those who lived in grass-thatched houses have now built Iron roofed houses. Some who did not own livestock have bought dairy cows. Also, others who used to wear tattered clothes are now well dressed with the latest clothing fashion."

"At the moment, I do not have any new goals that I did not have before receiving the transfer. I am glad I managed to achieve the most pressing needs which were purchasing a water tank and clearing my children's school fees balance. Walking for more than two hours in search of water was really draining me both physically and emotionally. This will not be the case anymore because I can now harvest rainwater. My children too can concentrate in class because they are no longer sent back for school fees. I have seen immense improvement in their performance."

"Even though my husband and I have been making Pepper and rice farm for the past six years now to sustain the family, the money we earn from the farm proceeds, we use some to pay our children tuition and use the balance on food. We didn't earn enough money from the farm we make last year because of the sun. The sunshine throughout until all the little creeks we freshwater from got dry out and it was difficult for the Pepper to survive without water, we lost the resources spent on the farm. Because of that, we did not make a big farm this year. The house my family and I lived in belong to my father in law and it leaks badly whenever there's a heavy down pull of rain and most of our things get damaged because of that. I feel bad at times seeing myself in this kind of condition. I will appreciate any help from GiveDirectly to improve my livelihood."

"I had this goal initially since the first transfer, which was making progress in building a permanent brick wall house. This is because I had always desired to have a brick wall house that is more permanent and will last long without having to be regularly renovated or repaired. I had started building it with the money from the first transfer, but had stalled because it hadn't been enough given that all other challenges were addressed using that first transfer, especially food and water."

"My main aim and desire was the house that I had started building with the first transfer, because we had been living in a very small house with no enough space for my sizeable family. I had started building it but stalled since the transfer had to be shared appropriately among the needs and challenges that needed to be addressed including food and water especially, as it had been very dry and water so scarce as well as very expensive. Therefore, this second transfer came as a huge boost to the completion of the house, I am so grateful."

"The goals that I had for this second transfer were a water reservoir tank and building a bigger house, especially for my children because we had been going through a lot hardships competing for space in our small house. I had these goals because I had spent the first transfer on settling my children's school fees arrears, buying food for my family and other essentials. I was so grateful when I got the money, because it was the assistance I needed to address those challenges I had been facing, as I didn't know how I was going to do as I am a widow with no actual job to rely on."

"GiveDirectly can help people financially, so they can be able to build house for they and their family, and to also send their children to school. GiveDirectly does not ask for food nor water or anything from people."

"GiveDirectly has given us a new life, improved our decision making and empowered us to do well by ourselves and family. I can't think of anything GiveDirectly is not doing well but if I'll say, it's saddening that the workers don't accept our tokens of gratitude. I love to show gratitude when someone does something for me but they wouldn't even accept water neither other tokens I've offered them."
