"My ability to finish my house, which had been on hold for a while, has made the biggest difference in my day-to-day activities. I can't believe how quickly I was able to realize my dream. Though I had predicted it would take more time, I am thrilled with how much my standard of life has improved thanks to GiveDirectly's assistance."

"After a long day of hustling and bustling to make ends meet, I can still clearly remember how I felt the moment I learned of my transfer: I was at home, sipping tea. Suddenly, my phone started to ring, and when I checked, I saw that GiveDirectly had sent me money. I was overcome with joy since I knew I would be able to take care of my children's needs for school expenses, making this the greatest and most momentarily refreshing news I had heard in a long time. My husband was equally thrilled and excited when I told him the good news. We are grateful for the support, which helped to relieve me of a great burden."

"After paying a $250 debt to the hospital where my mother-in-law was admitted before she died, I felt relieved. Raising such a large sum would not have been possible, so I was grateful for GiveDirectly's support. This money also allowed us to improve the appearance of our home by plastering the floors, which are now easy to clean and no longer dusty."

"When I received the first transfer, I had a lot on my plate. Some couldn't be finished, but I wasn't concerned because I still had the second transfer coming. I had purposefully delayed building a house in order to await the second transfer, and when it arrived, building a new house was a top priority. I purchased 25 iron sheets for $85, 20 building poles and ten frames for $2 each, a door for $35, windows for $10, and labor for $57. I am relieved that the construction is completed and that my family of four can now live in a spacious home. In addition, I spent $60 on food shopping that we ate for more than a month and decided to save the rest of the money to pay school fees and a new school uniform at the start of the school year."

"The most significant difference in my daily life is the renovation of my house, which is now leak-free and no longer requires minor repairs. We are currently enjoying a large room where all of our visitors sleep. I am grateful for GiveDirectly's support and hope to accomplish much with the second transfer."

"In the coming year, I hope to restart my small shop business which collapsed one year ago. I was forced to use all the capital that was running it to support the secondary education of the kid. In addition, accomplishing this will realize my dream of becoming self-reliant because I will no longer depend on my spouse for every family's financial needs."

"I am a housewife, depending on my spouse who is a pastor to cater for all the basic needs of the family. I had wished to start a small business selling dry fish at the nearby shopping centre. I intend to accomplish this dream in the coming year. I will use the income to support my husband in feeding the family as well as saving for the education of our children."

"Iam spending most of my recent transfer on plastering/improving my house."

"I spent most of my second transfer on buying Zinc to build new house becasue where I live is not good for me."

"I spent most of my third transfer on paying my children's tuition in Monrovia and also paid the workmanship for my house."
