"The training and the enrollment were done well. There were no biases and everyone who received the transfer spent it well. GiveDirectly has changed our living standards to be much better than before. I do not find anything that GiveDirectly did not do well."

"I wish to devote much of my time to farming, I will plant maize and sweet potatoes. I can get enough food for the family and even sell the surplus to earn some income. This will be my main priority this coming years."

"I'm hoping to join a merry-go-round so I can save money. I want to establish a grocery shop using the money I've saved. I will be able to assist my husband in providing for our family's essential requirements, including paying our six children's school expenses."

"In my perspective, GiveDirectly performed admirably in our village and even in the villages it visited before ours. The advice on sensible spending was also well received, as shown by the final results, which left me feeling inspired. Residents' living standards have improved as a result of our impartial enrollment."

"The training was perfectly done before we receive the transfer and this made many people in our village invest their money in viable projects that would benefit them for a long time. This was one of the best things that GiveDirectly did since it was perfectly done before the transfer. I do not find anything that GiveDirectly did not do well."

"We received free cash transfers throughout the area thanks to GiveDirectly's excellent initiative. I have nothing against the company, but I am appreciative of the success I experienced after putting my plans into action."

"My current goal is to ensure that my children's education is not interrupted because of fee arrears. I have been struggling to raise fees for them, so receiving the monthly transfer is a big relief to me. I am hoping that they will continue with their studies undisturbed and realize their educational goals. Currently, I do not have a source of income that can help with paying the fees and I am relying on the transfers hence my plan is to ensure that I pay for them on time."

"I value every bit of advice I received during registration, and even the ability to spend money however I saw fit was a nice touch. I have nothing negative to say about the whole situation, and everyone in the town continues to thank GiveDirectly for the kind assistance they provided. Keep GiveDirectly alive."

"My main objective for this year is to start purchasing and rearing goats. I had yearned for this for years, but I could not realize that goal because I never had a reliable source of income. I am confident that it is a feasible project now that I have guaranteed monthly transfers. I love goats since they are valuable live assets and sources of milk and other food items. As a result, I will provide for my family's needs after GiveDirectly's transfer. Since my house is not in a good condition I also aim to repair the areas that are in worse shape."

"When I received my first transfer of $550, I used $360 from it to buy two dairy cows that were almost calving then. The decision to buy these dairy cows was informed by the fact that we did not have any cows to keep then. I then used almost the entire second transfer of $530 to buy basic household needs including food, clothes and even school needs for my children. I am so happy and grateful for the transformation that GiveDirectly has brought in my life. Being a single mother and having everyone look up to me for almost everything made it very hard for me to achieve some of the things that I have achieved with GiveDirectly transfers. This is because I normally rely on odd casual jobs to make ends meet which makes it hard for me to save any money to be able to do such investments."
