"In my opinion GiveDirectly does very well by giving support in form of cash. This gives everyone an opportunity to make decisions based on their needs. I do not see anything whatsoever with GiveDirectly that I think should be changed within GiveDirectly and how they conduct their operations."

Zedy
received a $432 second payment.
"The assistance from GiveDirectly went a long way toward improving our living situation; we were informed about the program's purpose and given the option of how to spend our money. The organization's assistance, in my opinion, has been critical in raising the living standards of people in my community. Because of unconditional support, individuals were able to spend money on their needs. So far, I did not see any loopholes or things that needed to be corrected."

Raeli
received a $418 second payment.
"I am a single mother with six children, three of whom are in school. Paying my children's school fees has been a difficult task. This is because I rely on selling firewood to make ends meet. It was not an easy task, but I had no choice because it was the only way I could be certain that my children's needs would be met. When I received my transfer, I spent $150 on school fees for my children and the remainder on groceries and clothing. This was not easy because I used to pay school fees bit by bit which resulted in them being sent to collect school fees regularly. I am extremely grateful for the assistance that highly uplifted my living standard amazingly."

Mjeni
received a $418 second payment.
"According to me, GiveDirectly has done so well in the entire community by ensuring that they visited every household. Also, I liked the fact that the officers made a follow-up to confirm whether the money was well received. This portrayed how the organisation cared about its beneficiaries. Therefore, in my opinion, I do not see anything that needs to be changed."
