"In my opinion, GiveDirectly has empowered me to own lots of assets that I never I would own anytime soon. This because I reived the help in form of money and was allowed to choose what to buy. Also, the teachings that got from the GD staff concerning the money really enlightened me. I will forever b thankful and I do not see any part GiveDirectly failed us."

"In my opinion, GiveDirectly did its best by ensuring they visit every household o offer financial support. For sure this has never happened in our lives getting the huge amount of money that is non-non-refundable and non-conditional. We all have the privilege to choose how we would wish to spend the money according to the needs of our household. Therefore I do not see any part GD failed us."

Furaha received a $493 second payment.
"In my opinion, GiveDirectly does well by ensuring all the beneficiaries had mobile phones. This was the best of all since the money was sent directly to our phones, it would be so stressful if we couldn't have them. Also, the GD staff are very friendly and approachable and we could freely interact with them and ask any kind of question regarding the transfers and the organization at large."
