"In my opinion GiveDirectly is doing well in every direction.The provision of phone, SIM cards and even checking on recipients to know what they are spending their money on is exceptional. Frankly speaking, GiveDirectly is doing everything well and systematically."

"I am thinking of maintaining my first goal which is building a new house since building is a gradual process. When I am done with that, I can set a different goal. For now my focus is the house since the current one that I am in is dilapidated."

"My new goal is to build another house and expand my business. I would like to build another house because I have only one house and it is small in size. I would like to build another one that is spacious and enough for us and the guests visiting our household. I also would like to expand my salon business and that of selling second-hand clothes so that I can earn more profit that will enable me to meet all of my family's needs comfortably and to pay school fees for my child who is currently in primary school."

"My new goal is to do more farming. I usually till a small part of my land due to lack of enough money. I would hence like to increase the size so that I can get more harvest. I do not have a job and hence I usually depend on farming and small-scale dairy farming to make money for upkeep and paying school fees for my three children. My other goal is to seek medical attention. One of my eyes has a problem and hence I am only able to see with one eye."

"My husband took away the phone from me and he went and withdrew all the money on his own. He then planned on his own how to spend it without involving me. He spent part of the recent transfer money on buying a motorcycle and the rest of it he opened a shop business with it. We managed to plan together when we got the first transfer but I do not know what happened when the second transfer was sent. He suddenly turned wild and he beat me up and took the phone with him. He then burnt the phone and he brought another wife. I had to leave with the children."

"The biggest difference is am building my own house and in the nit too distant future, I will own a new house. Things are improving, though this is my first transfer but I am hopeful this kind gesture will transform my life."

"Givedirectly does well with their cash assistance program. They have help us to be independent and today we are making wise decision to build which is something to remember. We were considered as no body and today Givedirectly has made us somebody. I am grateful"

"I spent my money to purchase zinc and currebtly moulding bricks to start my new construction. All along, I have been yiening to change from room to house, but there was no money. However, Givedirectly has done well for me and words are insufficient to express my gratitude to them for their assistance."

"I spent KES 10000 on a new business of selling second-hand clothes. Previously, I relied on burning charcoal for sale. Being a woman, it was hectic wandering in search of logs for charcoal. It not only consumed much of my energy but my health was negatively affected too. I still do the charcoal business but as intensive as before because I now have an additional income. KES 43000 of the money I spent on the building materials (nails, timber) and labor for extending a room for my house. I had a single room but it was too small to fit my family of 5. Since the income I earned from charcoal could not afford a bigger house, we had to squeeze in it. I am glad we now have our privacy since the children have their separate sleeping rooms."

"In my opinion, Give Directly is doing well by giving people cash without demanding any form of payment. With the current economy, it is rare to find reasonable jobs, let alone getting such an amount of money without anything in return. Give Directly has positively impacted many people's lives. On the other hand, there is nothing that it does not do well."
