"My new goal is to have my shop after I spent my second transfer in starting a duvet business so that potential customers can find it easily accessible. So far the business has picked though I market and sell it door to door which is a bit strenuous."

"I am very grateful because I got a house through GiveDirectly. It did everything so well, because this house I got is the one I had desired for so long. We are neither blaming nor complaining about anything concerning GiveDirectly or the program, everything was done so well."

"GiveDirectly did everything so well, generally. Through the program, it helped us improve our living standards immensely and I am personally so impressed with its success. I am about to have the house that I have always desired for and I am happy. I do not see anything that GiveDirectly doesn't or didn't do well, in my opinion."

"I am so grateful because I've been going through hardships, having no regular job and a better place to sleep. I got the financial assistance that has no conditions neither does it have to be paid later, it was a very great opportunity for me to address the challenges that I have been facing in my life. I have a bigger house with enough space and security for my household items and other things I would own. I don't see anything that GiveDirectly doesn't do well, and I am so grateful personally."

"The goals I had for this second transfer are the ones that I had been having since the census stage when GiveDirectly Field Officers came to talk to us about the program. Apart from the shopping for food stuffs for my family which actually took a huge chunk of the transfer I received, I had a business that I had purposed to revive and replenish. This was because I had been relying on my other business of cutting trees and burning charcoal to sell, which hardly raised enough for me to be able to achieve those goals. I was so grateful to get the financial assistance as this little kiosk business replaced and relieved me from the tedious and tiresome work of cutting trees and burning charcoal to sell."

"In my opinion GiveDirectly did everything well, I was personally able to settle my children's school fees arrears, I got a house as well as food. Most of us got livestock as well which is an occupation and a source of food, especially milk. Everything was done well, and I see no problems or anything that GiveDirectly doesn't or didn't do right."

"I spent most of the transfer which was KES 40000 on buying the materials I need to build a bigger house for my children because we have been living in a rather small house and been competing for the little space. It had been so difficult to address this challenge as my husband is deceased and I have no one to give me a hand. This house, therefore, is a very huge relief to me because it has space which there won't be congestion and we will be living comfortably without having to compete for the little space like in the one we have been living in. I am so grateful especially for my children because they also will not have to be worried about where to sleep as they will have their own room, unlike before when they had to be hosted by neighbors and friends."

"GiveDirectly can help people financially, so they can be able to build house for they and their family, and to also send their children to school. GiveDirectly does not ask for food nor water or anything from people."

"GiveDirectly has given us a new life, improved our decision making and empowered us to do well by ourselves and family. I can't think of anything GiveDirectly is not doing well but if I'll say, it's saddening that the workers don't accept our tokens of gratitude. I love to show gratitude when someone does something for me but they wouldn't even accept water neither other tokens I've offered them."
