"Givedirectly is helping us financially and making us self dependent."

"I hope to finish building this house this year."

"O spent all of my third transfer on buying house building materials"

"I hope to complete my house project before next year"

"I hope to have my own zinc house which I am working towards. In the next few years, living in my own house well plastered along with zinc roof will make me a happy person. I wouldn't have to work so hard to look for thatch to patch a house time after time."

"I bought one bundle of zinc along with 150 pieces of planks for my house project. I don't have respect at my current place I am sleeping. My neighbors always put mouth on me to get my own house. The owner of my current house is my small brother and because I am his elder, there is always insult lavished on me to get my own place. GiveDirectly has rescued me from all the disrespect that has been thrown at me in past time; very soon, I will be a house owner like other people and gain back my respect and dignity as a man. I also used 14,000 to buy cattle (one sheep and one goat). I bought the animals for business purposes; they will reproduce and I will sell the kids to get more money for sustainable growth."

"GiveDirectly is doing great by helping us with direct money to make our lives better. For example, if GiveDirectly had not given me cash, how would I have accomplished my dream of graduating from high school?! They have done so well in making a lot of lives better in Liberia. They have brought me so much happiness and pride. I am grateful to GiveDirectly always."

"I bought two bundles of zinc along with one cartoon of nails to construct a new building. I chose to build house because the current thatch house has given us too much stress. We usually go into the swamp to fetch thatch during the rainy season and the entire process is strenuous and difficult. The leakages on the current house are unbearable during rainy season. GiveDirectly bringing this help for us for a life changing situation for me and my family."

"RE " I am going to spend the most of my recent transfer on paying the workers i hire to build my house their last instalment which is about 80USD, since they are almost finish with my house"."

"My goal is to add an extra room to my one-room house. The current space is small for my two granddaughters and me, also, there is little privacy given our age difference. Since I do not have any source of income, except Give Directly’s cash transfers, I hope to be able to save enough money from future transfers to build the room. "
