"In my opinion all processes by Give Directly are transparent. So I personally do not have an issue with the program. However, those that did not get registered feel sidelined as it is not clear as to why certain parts of the area where registered and other parts were not registered. These are the people that have been speaking ill of current recipients, they say things like ''look at you Malawians getting help while us Mozambicans have been left out''."
