"In my opinion, GiveDirectly does so well in supporting the less fortunate in some communities financially. As a result of direct cash transfer, our lives have positively changed. For instance, in the entire villages where GoveDirectly works, there are a number of positive projects that are ongoing. People have used the transfer to buy livestock as well as build new houses. There is nothing that I have witnessed that GiveDirectly does not do well."
