"In my opinion, GiveDirectly is an organization that empowers people. Initially, I was stranded on how I would get some money to retain my children in school to acquire education. Through this organization, I was able to pay a whole year's school fees for my children. This would not be possible if it were not for GiveDirectly."

"God willing, I am planning to build an Iron roofed house for my kids. This is because my kids are growing older and need their own space."

"Once the construction of my house is complete, I am planning to start a turn boy job to help in feeding my family."

"In my opinion, Give Directly did well by sending money directly to individual beneficiaries and not through a third party. This was the best way of ensuring that the most deserving got the exact amount as promised. We did not encounter any irregularities in the amounts received by every recipient."

"For a couple of years, I had been living in a single-roomed and leaky grass-thatched house. When I was enrolled in the program, I developed a goal of building a new spacious house that could accommodate my family of 8. After I had completed this goal, I came up with an additional plan of buying a new set of furniture. I had not been having both beds and mattresses thus we had been lying on sacks, a scenario that had been very uncomfortable."
