"GiveDirectly does well in that they conduct their training enrollment so well. Most of the people who received the transfer spent it well and this has improved their standard of living. I do not find anything that GiveDirectly Did not do well." (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)

"GiveDirectly does the training and enrollment well. This was done perfectly without any biases most of the people who received the transfer spent it well. The living standard of the people has improved compared to when they had not received the transfer. I do not find anything that GiveDirectly did not do well."

"I used KES 35000 to buy a dairy cow and used the remaining amount to buy food for the family. We are a young family of one and we had not owned any cow until we received support from GiveDirectly. My husband is a motorcycle rider while I do subsistence farming at home to help make ends meet. We feel so lucky and happy to have received the transfer from GiveDirectly and for the things that we were able to accomplish with it. We have been boosted at the start of our lives as a young couple and we are looking forward to achieving much more."

"The second transfer which I received from GiveDirectly, I spent the whole amount on buying building materials for the construction of a three-roomed house that was under construction. I am happy that the house is 80 % completed and I am remaining with plastering the floor only. The funds eased my burden and maybe I would have opted to build a smaller house that I would afford."

"This is the third year when I developed leg problems. I have been unable to walk. When I received the second transfer, I was in the hospital and since the money is aimed at helping me, I used all the transfer in paying for my medical bills. Unfortunately, it was insufficient though I am very grateful because it boosted my family." (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)

"I work as a volunteer nurse in one of the community facilities in our area. Before GiveDirectly came into our lives, I used to pray fare of KES 400 a day to and fro my workplace and that was too expensive for me. I decided to buy a motorcycle to ease my movement and as at the moment, I spent KES 3000 a month on fuel and that has saved me a lot. With the stipend which I got, I will be saving so that I can spend on starting up a business that would generate some income and that's my goal at the moment."

"I want to be grateful to Givedirectly for cash supports. The new goal I have set before receiving this transfer is to invest my last transfer in to business. I want to buy one used motorbike for commercial purpose. I spent my previous transfers to build new house and payback debt I owed someone. Thanks to Givedirectly for empowering me financially. I believe that when I invest some of my transfer into making business, I will be able to generate more money to take care of my family in The future." (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)

"My new goal is to build a better house and buy my own motorcycle. I ride a motorcycle to earn income that helps me sustain my young family. Getting my own motorcycle will ensure that we have more income as a family and we will be able to better our living standards with it. I plan to use proceeds from fish farming and poultry to make this happen. Looking forward to seeing this dream come to reality." (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)

"I used KES 36000 to buy a dairy cow and used the remaining amount to buy pieces of iron sheets for building a kitchen. Dairy keeping is one of the main economic activities and its hard to get money that would be enough to buy a dairy cow. I normally rely on small scale business of being a middleman in businesses at market centres to make some income. Right now I am happy that I have my own dairy cow that I milk up to 6 litres pee day. This has been life changing to me since it not only increases the amount of income for me but has also made me feel very relaxed. I no longer go out for long hours in search of odd jobs to make an income for my family to be sustained but I stay at home to be able to take care of my own libestock."
