How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
I am Morris Sackie form Weajor town, Bomi county Liberia. I planned to complete payment of my school fees and start business before receiving my last cash transfer from Givedirectly.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
In my opinion, Givedirectly put smile on the faces of the needed in my village. I am a student and was actually out of money to pay my school fees when Givedirectly cash transfer program came to my village. I been farming for the past six years just to pay my fees but I couldn't afford payment of my school fees this year because my corps was still young and I couldn't harvest to sell and get money. Givedirectly program came to this village and help me achieve my goal through the cash transfer. I am presently in school through the cash received from Givedirectly. I am so glad and want to extend thanks and appreciation to Givedirectly and those who contributed the cash that has helped me attend school this academic year. I am grateful.
