"In my opinion, GD deserves credit for its perfect selection of highly competent field officers. These officers not only display exceptional friendliness but also provide attentive and efficient assistance. Moreover, their commitment to honesty is commendable, as the enrollment process was free and fair. However, I suggest consideration of an additional transfer. This would greatly assist families like mine, especially with ongoing needs such as school fees for my four children in primary school."

"Food scarcity is the challenge that I am currently facing in life. I do casual jobs together with my husband earning approximately $80 per month which caters for school fees and food. This is not enough to sustain the family for the whole month. Most of the time my family goes without food and this has caused my children to miss classes due to hunger."

"Give Directly is performing admirably by providing us with substantial financial management knowledge and conducting regular check-ins. This guidance ensures we stay on the right track and fulfill our obligations properly. However, it would be beneficial if the organization could consider extending the duration of the program, particularly for those in more dire circumstances than others."
