"Give directly is doing well"

"In this part of the world to see someone or an organization giving money without a condition attached is difficult. In my opinion GiveDirectly does well by allowing me to decide what to do with my money. GiveDirectly does not know what I want to do with money. I think by giving me the money and leaving me with the decision to decide how to use it is in the the right direction. I think GiveDirectly workings is best I have seen since nongovernmental organizations began work in this community."

"I am a farmer. My husband make oil and we take it to the local market to sell. Things got so difficult for us. Customers were no longer buying the oil. We could hardly afford our children tuition. I was so excited when GiveDirectly came to my town. Being enrolled in its cash program is one of the greatest things that has ever happened to me. I was happy when I received my transfer. Hopefully after receiving all of the transfers our lives will improve."

"" My family and I live in a room in my parents house,we do not have a house on our own. We depend on farming to survive. If I received the transfer from GiveDirectly, I want to build my family house with potion of the money and establish a business to support my family.""

"I had plans to start a small business"

"Receiving a confirmation message showing a receipt of the promised funds in my MPESA was one of the biggest moments. This was also an assurance of initiation of the goals that we had planned."

"With a family of six, we had been living in a small grass-thatched house with the hope of renewing the roof but with financial constraints, this never seem to be possible. With Kshs, 40,000 of my first cash transfer we used to construct a spacious and modern house. We are all happy that the house is at its final stages and soon we are looking forward to moving in. With the remaining amount, I used in purchasing clothes and foodstuff for all my family members."

"I was happy and thankful when I saw a message confirming receipt of my first transfer from Givedirectly.I immediately went and withdrew all the transfer."

"Construction of a new modern house has been my greatest difference since I no longer suffer during the fun."
