"GiveDirectly was superb and did an outstanding job, elevating many people in our community. Many families used to live in old huts but have since built new homes, while others have purchased livestock that now provides enough milk for their families. On the other hand, even the middle class was treated fairly and was not excluded. The majority of them invested in land and school fees for their children. I am glad that most of the people in our village heeded the pieces of advice given, and the outcome of their work has been amazing."

"Despite the scorching sun since the beginning of the year, I am still hopeful that the rain will allow me to return to farming. Farming is always the main activity that we focus on every year as a source of income to ensure that we not only have enough food but also surplus produce to sell. We had been purchasing expensive food, and our hope of planting and producing our own will be realized only if we receive sufficient rainfall."

"In my opinion, GiveDirectly did well not only in my household but in the entire village. I was satisfied with their unique services which include sending unconditional cash transfers among others. I was also able to plan how I would wish to utilize the money according to my needs. I, therefore can't point out anything that has to be changed."

"My main goal currently is to continue saving Ksh. 1000 every month in order to buy 22 pieces of iron sheets. The objective is to renovate my living house's roof, which is weak and dilapidated. I am saving money in our local merry-go-round group, which consists of 14 members. I believe that very soon after getting my savings back, I will be able to buy the iron sheets and start the renovation."

"Currently, my focus is bringing my health back to shape so that I can be able to return to work. However, I lack the necessary resources and finances to cover my treatment expenses. Every penny I get is majorly consumed by the household’s basic needs like food and school fees; nothing is left. Although these financial obligations weigh heavily on me, I trust to have the capacity to save some money from my upcoming transfers to fund my treatment procedures. "

"Receiving the monthly transfers has brought a huge relief to my household since last year. The prevailing drought that has struck us for almost two years has rendered our lives miserable, coupled with tough economic hardship. Were it not for the transfers, I would not have been able to provide food in my household as well as pay fees for my grandson. The transfers are currently the only hope which has ensured that we do not lack food despite the hardships I am facing. My goal is to ensure that food is available in my household and that my grandchild's education is not interrupted for failing to pay fees."

"According to me, Give Directly has been doing especially in helping most needy individuals financially. It empowered each one of us in achieving our long time goals. Also, I was granted permission to pick what to purchase according to my heart's desires. I do not see anything that needs to be changed."

"After carrying out the tasks I had planned for the second transfer, I came up with an entrepreneurial objective. I plan to construct a rental house as soon as I have money. After observing a buddy of mine succeed in this sector, I had this notion. I gained the zeal for the same venture thanks to his advice. He also persuaded me that rental properties provide a guaranteed monthly income and do not disappoint in terms of revenue when managed properly. With this kind of investment, I will be able to support my family more easily than I am right now."

"As I do not currently have a source of income, I have not yet set any goals for myself. I have trained myself to make plans for things I already have. In order to reduce expectations that can cause irritation if the plan does not work out, I created this culture. I will make plans for what I want to do once I have the money in hand based on that."

"In my opinion, GiveDirectly succeeds by providing financial support. Receiving money and having the option to decide how to use it was priceless. I feel content and proud when I look at the house I built and the heifer I acquired. Everyone in the hamlet is feeling the same because they were able to invest their money however they felt most comfortable."
