"Give Directly has changed the livelihoods of many families in this village. People have constructed iron sheets roofed houses unlike before when most houses were grass thatched. Thanks to you that people can now shop in bulk and stock. Everyone is praising Give Directly all over. What you can improve on is your selection procedure. In my village, I was sad to see hard working youths being excluded in the program and drunkards being given the transfers. Atleast ensure that these hard working youths receive the money because they'll use it wisely."
