"The biggest challenge I am currently facing is insufficient money to pay school fees and provide animal feeds since I have a small land to plant and a lack of a store to put the feeds."

"In my opinion, GiveDirectly did an awesome job by visiting all the poorest individuals in my village. Previously, we could not afford the basic needs like good shelter, food stuffed and we had no hopes of owning livestock because of the financial challenges. The support has however empowered us to achieve all our goals. Therefore, I can not point out anything that GiveDirectly failed."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I no longer worry about the cost of buying milk daily. This will also mean that I will be able to save up the money that I used in buying milk for other things, In addition to that, the health of my family as a whole will be nourished. I am so grateful for the support that impacted our lives by enabling me to realise my goal in a short time."

"I am a consistent farmer, married and blessed with Seven children, Upon receiving my transfer I used KES 40,000 in building a decent house for my family, the house that I was living in was small but unfortunately, I was unable to construct one due to financial constraints and school fees demand from children's school, I then used KES 3000 in paying school fees balances for my children, I then used the remaining amount in buying foodstuffs and clothes for my children. I am so happy for the support that transformed our living standard for a better one. It"

"It was at around 5 pm when I was busy milking my cow, that was when I heard my phone ringing, upon checking what the message was all about, I saw a Mpesa notification message showing that I had received money from GiveDirectly, words cannot express how happy I was, I was overwhelmed with joy, this is because I knew that I would be able to accomplish the goals that I had, I am grateful for the support that changed my life to a better one."

"In my opinion, GiveDirectly does well in all parts of the region. The money was equally sent to each household without any delays. Also, the officers made sure that they followed up on us after receiving each cash transfer just to confirm whether money was well collected without any hiccups. This showed how caring they were. Therefore I do not see any part that they failed us."

"In my opinion GiveDirectly should continue to give out direct cash transferred to poor people."

"My posho mill enterprise is crippling due to inadequate capital. It earns a profit of KES 300 daily which is little. I have been thinking of expanding this business but capital has been my biggest challenge. Upon receiving this money, I will plan KES 70000 to invest in this business and maximize profit. This includes renovation and buying raw materials like maize. I have realized also that the high cost of buying milk for my family has made our life expensive. To cut this cost, I will consider buying a dairy cow with the remaining KES 30000. This will not only cut costs but help my children live a healthy life now that milk is a staple and nutritious food for children."

"I am living in a house that is made out of thatch roof. When I got my first transfer, I decided to build a decent house and change the thatch to zinc. Therefore, I used my first transfer to purchase two bundles of zinc for my project. When I received the second transfer, I bought additional bundle of zinc and few bags of cement."

"Givedirectly has done extremely well. The unconditional money transfer to my community has changed our lives dramatically. It has empowered us to develop our towns and villages. This transfer has also enable some of us to send our children to school."
