Upon receiving all my transfer, my plan was to build my own house in my village, because the house I'm living in right now is our family house. That's why I want to build a new houses instead, but I never had money to accomplish my plan, but when I started receiving transfer from givedirectly our life began to change, I'm now building my dream house in my village, many thanks to Givedirectly for their support.

Givedirectly has done very well in my life and that of our village, givedirectly has changed our entire village with so many new houses, givedirectly was able to empowered our entire village with financial support. In my opinion there's nothing that givedirectly hasn't done well.

When I received my last transfer I was able to buy additional building materials, I bought enough foodstuff for my family, the balance money I was able to paid workmanship

My new goal set before receiving this transfer are to give some money to my wife for business purpose and pay advance to contractors to start working on our rice farm. Farming work has commence, Many are cutting trees down to start planting rice. I have been thinking about how to generate money to start engaging our farming activities soon. Farming in this village require spending lot of money and times. Thanks to Givedirectly for the kind gesture. I believe that when my wife starts to make business from our transfer , I will not go out of money. The business profit will be used to cater to my family.

In my opinion, Givedirectly has impacted lives of families positively in Liberia through direct cash supports. Givedirectly is one of the best and transparent organizations in Liberia for now.Thanks to Givedirectly for the jobs well done. The only challenge about Givedirectly cash transfers is the difficulties recipients go through when cashing out their transfers from their mobile money accounts. I strongly believe that if Givedirectly work closely with MTN in finding a suitable strategy to cashingout recipients money, recipients stress to withdraw their transfer will be over.

I used the most recent transfer to buy Christmas clothes for all my children and paid contractors to start cutting down tress on our farm. My wife has gone to Monrovia to buy slippers and used clothes for sell this season. Thanks to Givedirectly for the financial empowerment. I believe that with my transfer from Givedirectly, every suffering in my life will soon be over.

My new goals after receiving the transfer is for me to build my own decent dirt bricks house with cement in Gbediah town for my family and I to relocate. I am living in one room with my wife and four children. We don't have access to privacy. My family and I have been living in our in-law house for the past three years in this Community. I have been very complacent with such life because of poverty. I always involved myself into making rice farm every year to sell inorder to build our house and have our own place .Things have been very challenging with me due to family burden. The only solution I had in place before receiving this transfer was to ask the town chief in Gbediah town for land space to build a temporary one bed room stick hut for us to live. I am grateful to Givedirectly for the cash support.I believe that with this transfer, I will be owner of a decent house in this town.

In my opinion, Givedirectly Staffs are not corrupt. They are trust worthy and fair in dealing with recipients. I also admired the decisions of sending recipients money directly through mobile money .With this process, many young people in our community have had the opportunity to achieved their various goals without any one interference or corrupting the process. Having said this, Givedirectly needs to change the style of allowing recipients traveling distances just to collect their transfers. This method is stressful and can even contribute to some illiterate recipients been cheated in the process of cashing out their transfers by mobile money agents. I therefore recommend that for future programming, Givedirectly build rapport with Lonestar cell MTM so that they can send trusted mobile money field agents in the respectives Givedirectly selected districts and villages to help cashout recipients transfers.

I used part of the transfer to buy two bundles of Zinc .I also bought 4 packs of assorted nails and paid contractors to saw the planks. I am not wasting any time to start building immediately. I am currently negotiating with the town chief of Gbediah town for land space so that I can start my plan and fortunately for me, we are at the verge of concluding on where to build. I can't still believe the kind of good gesture Givedirectly rendered to my family. With receiving this transfer, I feel the sense of being empowered in the community. I don't have much to say but to appreciate GiveDirectly for the cash transfer.

My first transfer it was like a dream to me because it was surprising to me because it was my first time to get this type of money from any NGO in Liberia. I was very much happy until I started singing to god because it was not easy for me and my family. But with the help of GiveDirectly I'm now able to paid my children schools feel on time. I'm now even thinking of starting a new business to to help my family now so that we can not be suffering again.

The biggest difference in my life is that things I was not able to do I'm now able to do them.Things are getting better with us now we can eat on time my children are in good health. I was even having some money for someone after getting this money i was able to paid the person back their money. I'm now awaiting my next transfer to come so that i can improving my living conditions.

When i received my first transferi was very much happy because I'm now thinking about building a house for my children and i things are getting better with us now we can get our daily meal on time now. My children schools feel are now paid for the next calender school year.my wife wasn't even having phone but after receiving this money i was able to get her new phone.
