""The difference is that, It will make me a house owner, and stop living in family with the kind of responsibilities I have"."

""Since I received the transfer, I haven't used it yet, but transfer it to another SIM which I don't use often. It is my plan to complete the construction works on the current house my mother, wife and sister along with her husband are living and construct another one in order to avoid congestion whenever visitor comes to visit us"."

""My wife was sick and operated on at the hospital in Zwedru. We had gone for routine check-up when the cash assistance from GiveDirectly came into my phone. Though we were at the hospital, I was excited and greatly relieved because this money came in when I needed it the most. I broke the news to my wife and she too was overly excited. I think this timely assistance from GiveDirectly contributed to her speedy recovery. I am also a student trying to fimd school fees then this sickness got in. It affected my studies as well. However, with GiveDirectly 's assistance I am gaining my confidence. The very first thing I thought of was paying the hospital bills and buying enough medication for my wife"."

""I was in the town and people were dancing that they have received money from GiveDirectly. I was thinking what was happening mine has not come. I left from the crowd feeling bad that mine transfer has not come. While on my way home, I got a message alert on my phone. I thought it was Lonestar MTN with some of their regular message. I said to myself "Lonestar do try me oooooo". When I checked it was a gift of 35625LD from GiveDirectly. I was so happy that immediately I got hime I called my wife who is visiting her parents s soon as I vot the money I said this money is for my family. She told me to withdraw the money because we are hearing rumours that when you keep the money in the phone for long GiveDirectly will withdraw it from the phone. I depend on fishing and I am just returning from the river bank. My wife and I decided to pay our children's school fees and save the balance money to improve our house"."

""I was here when GiveDirectly met me. I remained here until my money from GiveDirectly hit my phone. I was very happy because as a young man who depended on hunting and walking up to 9hours to set traps, receiving such money without working for it made me to cry for out of joy and happiness. I decided to build my own house long time ago but I did not have the means to do so. Now that I have this opportunity from GiveDirectly I will not let it pass". he first thing that came to my mind was to build my house. I have left the bush hunting now"."

""Immediately upon receiving our first transfer frpm GiveDirectly, the happiness caused me not to think rigjt away. While in bed at night my husband and I decided to pay my children school fees which we did. Presently we are now brushing the site we have to construction work on our new house"."

""Receiving this money from GiveDirectly is really a blessing. I am old and mu husband is dead. Before this assistance from GiveDirectly, I was thinking of plastering my house. So this money has made a big difference in my life. I have send money to my daughter for her school and my house will soon have a new appearance. I was not.able to do these things before"."

"I used my recent transfer to invest into agriculture, this is what I have been doing. I am in to vegetables crops farming like Tomotoes, Bitterboy, pepper and okara."

""Being a part of this unique program is one of the best thing that ever happened to me. This money came the time I so much needed money to for my school and that of my little sister. I was really worried and sad when this school year begin, not knowing where I was going to get money from to pay my Sister and I school fees and even buy our school materials. So this opportunity given me financially by GiveDirectly had brought so much relieved and joyed to us now that we are in school.""
