"Before receiving my transfer, my main goal was to further the studies of my daughter. Despite her complicating her primary education, I had not able to take her to secondary school due to lack of enough finances for shopping as well as paying part of her fee. After receiving the transfer, I was able to take her to school and she is continuing with her studies. Nowadays, I am having peace of mind as well as happy about fulfilling my goal. Currently, I do not have any other new goals."

"I spent my second transfer to purchase 3 cows at KES 15,000 each. This was to improve livestock rearing, an activity that I have been depending on to raise my family. My long-term plan is to sell them once they reproduce to advance the education of my 5 children. I spent the remaining amount to support my kid's education by clearing their arrears, they had huge fee arrears which made them constantly stay at home."

"My initial goal was to construct a decent separate shelter for my kid since we were staying in the house despite them being big boys. Through the transfer, I was able to accomplish the goal. In addition, I was able to support the education of my kids by paying off the huge accumulated fee arrears. Having done all this I do not have any new goals."

"In my opinion, GiveDirectly did well conducting a community meeting as well as explaining the program fully to us before the actual enrollment. Furthermore, the organization did not require us to pay back the money. I feel there is nothing that it did not do well."

"In my opinion, GiveDirectly did well for coming up with a cash transfer program instead of material things. In addition, every household was enrolled in the program. I do not see anything that went wrong."

"After accomplishing my initial goals of constructing a decent and spacious shelter for my family because I was living in a very small and old one. In addition, I purchased crutches for my husband who was involved in a road accident which rendered him unable to walk. Furthermore, I was able to boost my shop business as well as my livestock rearing. Having achieved all these, I do not have new goals."

"GiveDirectly does so well, in my opinion but it depends on an individual's self discipline with the cash and how they spend it. If they followed the plan they had and addressed the challenges they were facing then they got helped. Personally, I was able to address the most pressing challenges I was facing and I am now living a better life compared to the life I was living before GiveDirectly came to our village. I am so grateful, and I don't think that there's anything that it didn't do well."

"Generally, GiveDirectly did so well and I am personally so grateful because we got enrolled and benefitted from the program. Through it, I was able to get a house and I am no longer worried about going to sleep while having eaten nothing like before. I see nothing that it didn't not do right or well."

"We are glad that GiveDirectly gave us unrestricted cash which enabled me to achieve my dreams, I am grateful for the support that empowered our people by bettering our living standards. In my opinion, GiveDirectly staffs are polite and approachable."
