"My house will be built from the fund and i am very happy and my family is very happy"

"Am planning on spending the money to facilitate construction of my house and also buy food for my family."

"Through the transfers, I managed to clear the medical bill for my mother in law bill since she has been unwell for years but we could afford the money needed for the treatment. While she was undergoing the treatment, she went to be with the Lord but still I am grateful for this organization In addition, I have always wished I had my own sewing machine, but I could not afford to buy one since the machines are very expensive. For all those years, I have been working from my friend's workshops and I used to be paid on commission. The salary was very little that it couldn't meet the needs of my family. The money I get from this business is much better than what I used to work for someone. I at times hire one of my friends and get an income and this has really empowered me in so many ways and I can now cater to my family's needs with ease."

"In my opinion, GiveDirectly did well in sending the transfers direct to our phones. Secondly, we were given enough teachings on how best we would utilize the transfers. Also the act that me money was unconditional was the best of all. I do not see any sector that GD failed us."

"In my opinion, GiveDirectly does well in reducing the poverty that we were in. Through the unconditional transfers, we can attest that our lives have changed drastically. At least we can now afford the very basic necessities to life like food and good shelter without struggle. We also own livestock which are part of our precious assets. I do not see anything that GiveDirectly does not do well."

"The biggest hardship I have faced in life is a lack of capital to start a business. Over the years, I have been struggling to save some money from my house construction work to start me off but in vain due to various dynamics of life. Also due to financial constraints, my wife whom we had lived with for 7 years left with my two children something that has caused me sleepless nights. Seeing Give Directly in our village has given me a sigh of relief knowing that my dreams of starting poultry farming will soon materialize."

"I am a widow and all my five kids solely depend on me to fend for their basic necessities. In terms of my kid's education level, one is in secondary level while the rest are in primary level. With no regular source of income, paying for their school fees has been an uphill task for me. I mostly rely on part of the constituency development fund set aside for education purpose. For the remaining balance, I am forced to write a commitment letter to the school hierarchy and try as much as possible to honour it through payments from the casual jobs I get. This for me is the biggest hardship I have ever experienced."

"In my opinion Give Directly does a good job of helping people by giving them money to start a business or whatever a person needs instead of dictating. I have nothing I can say it doesn't do well"

"IT HAS DONE ONLY GOOD, WE ARE ABLE TO BUY WHAT WE COULD NOT AFFORD"

"Now i am very happy for i will now have what my heart desired most, it felt like a blessing"
