"Among the things that GiveDirectly does well, include the fact that it is very honest and doesn't lie as it fulfilled the promises made to us at the time we were being enrolled into the program. It doesn't discriminate neither does it favour any group or a particular people. However, I feel that in addition to the suggestions given to us at enrollment, there should have been more training specifically on financial management and investment instead of the money being made to be only for household uses. I think that will be better and a more assuring way of progressive development instead of allowing people to spend the money as they please."

"I believe GiveDirectly did everything well and I don't see anything that it didn't do well. I was able to get a nice house, partly settle my children's school fees arrears as well as got enough food for my family that will keep us going for quite some time. All through the assistance we got from GiveDirectly."

"I didn't have any new goals that I didn't have before receiving this second transfer, as the main aim and desire was to complete my house that I had started building with the first transfer. This was because I didn't want to abandon it and direct or spend the money on any other thing, which could potentially lead to the house collapsing yet it is the thing that I wanted the most."

""I am currently living in our family house which I'm entitled to only one room. As such, I find it difficult to ask my friends to visit me. Because of that some of my friends think that I'm selfish. When I receive this cash transfer, I will use some to build my own house and send my son to school"."

""My current challenge is lack of finance. I'm a single mother with two children and their father abandoned us. There is no money to adequately cater for them. Moreover, I want to make business that will serve as income generation for my family but I don't have money to do so "."

"After the receipt of the first transfer, I had a lot of plans lined up that I needed to accomplish. At the top of my list was the establishment of a poultry farming that I needed to start small - first by constructing a chicken coop. I spent KES 6000 on the purchase of the construction materials, paid the labor charges, and later brought in three chickens that are currently laying eggs that in turn are sold to pay for other small household goods. I also obtained a piece of furniture that came with the sitting cushions at KES 3200 to replace the wooden bench that we had been using. I also added some food to the foods baskets worth KES 6000, repaid a KES 12000 loan that I had with then shopkeeper, tilled and planted my piece of land with a total cost of KES 1000, bought a sheep that came with a lamp, and saved the remaining that I had been using to replenish any household good whenever we run short of."

"It was on a Wednesday around 11:35 Pm when a message came in but could not realize instantly that it was from GiveDirectly since I was partially asleep. On checking it up the next morning, I was very happy, and the excitement on my family members' faces as we planned was so high as well. I later collected from the nearby shopping center and started spending according to the priorities that we had with my household."

"My goal was to build my house.life wasn't easy for me.I was striving to feed my children..My children father abandoned me with the children.I could barely give my children two square meal a day. With the help of this transfer funds I am able to start building my house and I have a business of my own."

"Give-directly do well by giving me transfer fund to enable me build my house. If it was not this transfer funds,I wouldn't have the opportunity of building my house."

"I had desired to own proper beddings for my family, this is because I was using a small traditional bed which was not enough to accommodate me and my . I spent KES 10,000 to purchase a bed and mattress. In addition, I used KES 15,000 to construct a decent house for my son who was seeking shelter from the neighborhood something that worried me so much. I also saved KES 10,000 for any emergency that might arise. With the remaining amount, I bought enough food for the family."
