"I had plans of using this money to build myself a better house since my old one was quite old and the iron sheets were always leaking when it rained. That is why after I got the chance to withdraw transfers I went ahead and purchased about twenty bags of cement which cost me KES 12,000. I then proceeded to spend KES25,200 and buying twenty pieces of iron sheets. I also decided to buy two goats which cost me KES 8,000 and proceeded to spend the remaining balance on nutrition."

"I would love to express my attitude to the organization for the University that it has shown us. The funds enabled me to pay tuition for my son and fortunately at the moment he has graduated from high school which makes me quite happy."

"Since I got married more than 30 years ago, I had not had the privilege to own and sleep on proper modern bedding that is a bed and a mattress. The only time when I could enjoy that is when I visited our relatives in town. I had desired to own proper bedding since the old traditional thread-twisted bed and mat were uncomfortable. Every morning, I felt body pain all over which impacted my daily work negatively. I spent the recent transfer to acquire proper bedding and currently enjoying my night waking up fully re-energized. In addition, I spent part of the remaining amount seeking proper medical care for myself due to the backbone problem that had been disturbing me for a while. Also, I bought food and clothing with the remaining part because I was putting on old and torn clothes that were making me uncomfortable during community gatherings."

"First and foremost I would love to extend my gratitude to the organization for the generosity it has offered me so far and I am quite happy that with the money I received my son was finally able to proceed with his education."

"I am quite honored to have received the help from organization especially since now I am a home owner unlike before. The funds upgraded me to a better position in my life and I am quite grateful for it."

"I have nothing but praise when he comes to the organization and the work that it has done back in the village for me and other people as well. The funds I received enabled my husband to seek medical attention which I am grateful for to date."

"I spent $450 on paying school fees for my children in various schools and colleges, I have two children in secondary school and two in the university. I am so happy because they were able to study well without being sent home like before. This was affecting their performance in school. Paying school fees gave me a piece of mind since I had time to do my daily activities without being stressed up like before. The remaining amount of money I spent on food, clothes and other basic household items that we were lacking at that time. I am so grateful because GiveDirectly made our work much easier than before."

"GiveDirectly does well in that the training conducted before registration enlightens people and makes them understand the program well. I do not find anything that GiveDirectly did not do well."

"GiveDirecty does well in that they conduct training and makes everyone aware of the program before the actual enrolment takes place I do not find anything that GiveDirectly did not do well."

"In my opinion, GiveDirectly did well in sending cash transfers to poor households in the village. First, the training that they gave us during the early stages helped us to better understand the program. I feel the program was well conducted and there is nothing I can recommend for improvement."
