"I am swlf dependent now"

"Investing in crop farming is the goal that I have. I intend to save some amount from milk vending to boost it. This will ensure that I can hire a tractor on time to assist me in plowing the farm. Achieving this means that I will produce enough food for the family as well as animal feeds for my dairy cow."

"I am a business woman and I have been using my money received from GiveDirectly to sell gasoline and to furnish my house. I plan to use some of my last transfer to pay my daughter tuition and buy more gasoline to sell."

"My husband and I separated due to my age and life become very difficult for me because of the lack of money to support my grandchildren. After receiving this money from GiveDirectly, I used some to fix my house and the balance to keep providing daily meal for my grandchildren."

"To live in a descent house has always been my dream until receiving this money from GiveDirectly. It's my hope that I will used this money to fix my house."

"I am a single mother of six children and I don't have area for all of them to sleep, when I received my money from GiveDirectly, I used some to purchase zinc to roof my house and also pay my children school fees."

"I am a 42 years old man with 4 children, 2 boys and 2 girls. My famil and I live in a single room. Many at times I really feel ashame. I haven't been able to do anything because of my current economic condition. With the help of the unconditional cash grant given by GiveDirectly, I have started the construction of a three bedrooms house for my family and I. This will bring a great relief to my family and I. My kids will now have their rooms while my wife and I will have our room."

"My husband is aging and is unable to make a large farm due to the hard work. Most of my children are grown up and no longer live with is. Get food for the family is a major challenge. The money I got recently was sent to Monrovia to buy building materials to construct a shop for me. There isn't any shop in our entire Town, we have to go to the nearby Town to purchase major commodities. Starting a business in the town will not only create more buyers for me, but profit fro the business will help with the needs of the family."

"The little money generated from the subsistence farming we do isn't sufficient for the upkeep of the family. Moreover, the farming work is really hard. The recent money we received from GiveDirectly, was used to start a business for my husband and I. The business will help to generate more money for my family and I which will help us generate more money for our upkeep."

"All of what GiveDirectly does are all ok, what I love most is the way the the staffs talk to us. They talk to us in a very respectful manner."
