"To my side Givedirectly has done well in this area of village headman issa, our village has completely changed, as you can see those who did not have houses now they have and those who were starving with hunger now they have food. Therefore there is nothing which went wrong. Mine is just to thank this organisation and ask for continuation of this commendable humanitarian work"

"Now my life is not the same again because some things which were lacking in my life are now available because of this aid. Like i have already said now my family is food secured and has enough accomodation"

"I am so grateful for the program. My focus was on building a house. I bought 16 iron sheets, glasses and windows. I also used the money to pay builders. I also bought 5 bags of maize. I am now food secured. I also bought some clothes for my children."

"I was washing the utensils when I heard my phone ring. Upon checking to know who had sent me an SMS at that time, my heart was filled with joy due to the content of the message. I immediately went inside, sang a hymn, and whispered a word of prayer to thank God for answering my prayers. I knew that I would finally be able to start a poultry-keeping project as it had been my goal."

"When I received my transfer, I used KES 7000 to pay school fees for my daughter who had been sent back home and bought a dairy cow worth KES 33000 as a way of investing this money. When it reproduces, my family will have enough milk for consumption and for sale to earn an income. Also, I will be able to save the money I would otherwise use in buying milk as I have been spending KES 2000 monthly on them. In addition, I used KES 8000 to buy two sacks of maize and other foodstuffs and managed to use the remaining KES 6000 on utensils and clothes for my family."

"When I received my transfer, I spent KES 37000 to build a more spacious house for my family and KES 2000 to buy a table since I did not have one. I used to live in a small grass-thatched house and I knew that with time, I would need a bigger house where my children would have their separate room to sleep in for privacy purposes. In addition to this, I spent KES 5000 on food to last my family for some time, the same amount on clothes and saved KES 2000 in my account after using KES 3000 to pay school fees for my children who had been sent back home."

"Its a great opportunity given from give directly. I am very happy to receive the money."

"I struggle to find food to feed my family"

"This opportunity will help me to have the things that I needed. Iam very happy to be enrolled into the program."

"GiveDirectly is a very honest organisation. All the process are clear and well explained and because of this i was able to benefit from the programme. There should not change in how their processes are carried."
