"In my opinion, GiveDirectly has done so well for us. It is because of GiveDirectly financial assistance that most of us lives are changing for the better. Honestly speaking, I haven't noticed anything bad done by GiveDirectly."

"In my opinion GiveDirectly is doing extremely well. Personally, I call them way maker and promise keeper. Their love for humanity is very much overwhelming. Every sacrifices and efforts used in reaching out to we the needy will never go unnoticed. Truly speaking I have not seen anything wrong done by GiveDirectly."

"I used most of my transfer to build a better house for my family. We have been living in a small grass thatched house and had the desire of building a new house. We kept postponing due to lack of enough money until recently. When"

"I used all of my recent transfer to build a new house for my family. We had for a long time stayed in a single house that would leave us congested and this was so discouraging to a young family of 2 like mine. I had the disire of building a better house but I lacked the means. GiveDirectly came to hold my hand and give us the much needed dignity as a family."

"The biggest difference in my daily life since I started receiving money from GiveDirectly is the great improvements I can see in my life. I now have the things that I lacked before, especially a bigger and better house, some household items as well as new and better clothes for my children. I am so happy and grateful to GiveDirectly."

"It was at night and I was done eating but wasn't yet asleep as I was still talking to my family members when I got the SMS confirming that I had received the money from GiveDirectly. I was so happy when I got the money because it was going to help me address the challenges I was facing, especially getting a better and more comfortable bed and mattress."

"The biggest difference in my daily life since I started receiving money from GiveDirectly is I now have a bigger and better house which is a testament of the financial assistance I received. We also now have food regularly, something that wasn't possible before as I used to depend on occasional jobs as a cook that were not regular or reliable. I am so happy and grateful that I can even save a little of the money I get to make on some days, all thanks to GiveDirectly."

"The biggest difference in my daily life since I started receiving money from GiveDirectly is that I was able to get the things I didn't have before, things that I desired for so long to have. The things that were on top of the list, were the goats that I was only able to get with the money I received from GiveDirectly. I am now so happy and proud, than I was before."

"I spent most of the transfer which was KES 30000 on materials and labor charges for building a better house with a better roof because we were previously living in a poorly grass-thatched house that was also in a very poor condition. I chose to build a better house over spending the money on something else and end up finishing it without having done anything substantial that will live on and continue taking care of us. I also spent KES 20000 on buying four goats because it had rained and grass was and still is in plenty which motivated me in getting the goats since their food is available and they won't suffer. Also, the goats are an investment that will live on to the future. They will multiply and increase in numbers which inturn I'll be able to count on them and I'll be able to sell one or two, and address the financial challenges I will be facing in the future. We are very happy and grateful to GiveDirectly."

"I have been wanting to build a new structure for my lovely family of six children. I had been planning to build myself and my family a house but this goal became an unrealizable due to the outbreak of the COVID-19. Thanks to GiveDirectly I received all my transfers of KES 110,000. I have kick off the building process which has cost me roughly KES 70,000. I also managed to buy some cattles worth KES 23,000. The remaining KES 17,000 I have used it in settling small basic need like food, water and electricity."
