"I spent $270 of the transfer to improve the condition of my house by constructing additional one room. This is because my previous house was very small to accommodate both me and my commodities. I was very ashamed whenever I receive guest because I had to seek for them shelter from my neighbors. In addition, I spend $200 to pay for fees for my child who is in secondary school. At moment, my child is learning without being disrupted due to lack of school fees. The remaining amount assisted me in purchasing sufficient food for my family."

"In my opinion, GiveDirectly did well for sending the transfer which helped to fulfill the desires of my heart. In my opinion, I did not see anything that it does not do well. I wish it will continue to assisting other less fortunate households in the society."

"GiveDirectly is such a unique organization in the way its operating and treats us as the beneficiaries. Throughout the exercise from the first stage, there was no discrimination at all and everyone was enrolled freely and fairly. Also, each one of us was provided with mobile phones and made us even super excited becasue a big fraction of us was our first time handling such gadgets. It jas now ease communication among ourselves unlike before hereby we could travel from one end to the other to pass a message. Therefore, in my opinion, I do not see any part GiveDirectly failed us."

"Ever since I received the cash transfers, lots of positives have been happening in my life. I am currently a proud owner of a nice spacious iron-roofed house. Back in the days, I used to shelter in a conducive environment whereby my house was very small and its conditions were not pleasing at all. In every winter season, they were the worst moments in my life because I had to seek shelter from friends ad and as a result of shifting some of my properties were always stoles and other damaged. I am now happier and even proud because this new house has even made me gain respect in my community. Also, I am now sleeping comfortably in a very nice bed which is now replacing the traditional one which I could always wake up so tired with lots of pains. This is now history courtesy of GiveDirectly."

"Living in a leaky house has been a source of sleepless nights to us for a very long time and therefore our biggest hardship.Our single grass thatched house leaks every rainy time making it uncomfortable for ourselves and our two kids."

"My life is different than how it would have been because I managed to renovate my house by adding two rooms. Initially, it was single-roomed and its condition was not good. Therefore after receiving the money I had to prioritize it since it has been my long-time dream. My life members have been seeking shelter from friends for years which was so frustrating. Also, there was no privacy at all and at times it was very embarrassing. I now have peace of mind as a parent and I no longer have to worry bout any calamity. Also, the pair of oxen have been of great help too and I now able to prepare my farm in good time unlike before whereby I only depended on my two hands where I could harvest low yields."

"My life is different than how it would have been if I never received the transfers in that I have bought all the pipes and started irrigation on my farm. Our area is a semi arid and we rarely get rains. We do small scale farming and the harvest that we get is only for consumption. The drought in our area also contributed to low harvest. When I received the second transfer I found it wise to invest in buying pipes to irrigate my farm. Current I do horticulture farming. I plant onions, maize and bananas. This earns me an income to meet other basic household needs including paying school fees for my children and my siblings. I am so grateful for the support because I planting all seasons without being affected by drought."

"In my opinion GiveDirectly does well by giving money to the poor in the community to build better houses and to buy dairy cows. I do not find anything that GiveDirectly did not do well."

"Lack of a reliable source of income is the biggest hardship that I have ever faced in my life. I have all along been a housewife and I depends most on my husband who is doing charcoal work and his monthly income is normally $60. This income is very minimal and it can not fully cater to our very basic needs like food, nice shelter and education for my children."
