The only goal I have is to complete my new house and move in with my family. As seeing, my house has been badly leaking especially during the rainy seasons. Most of the times I have to traveled about four hours distance just to get new thatch to repair the areas that are leaking. I have wished to have a zinc but the lack of finance has been a serious challenge for me as farming is the only source of livelihood for my family. I am happy and greatful that GiveDirectly came and gave me this money which has helped me to build the house that I have long wished to have.

In my opinion, GiveDirectly as an organization working in my community has not done anything wrong. As for what GiveDirectly does well, I can say that when the organization entered into this community, every house in this town was visited to determine eligible households. By doing that, no household that deserves to be enrolled was left out except where the household refuses to be part of the program.

The first transfer I received my wife and I decided to use part of it to pay our children's school fees and the balance that left I used it to buy two bundles of zinc. As the remaining three transfers were coming in, we decided my wife and I to buy other building materials such as nails, planks, and additional one bundle of zinc. I was able to pay the contractors who I hired to build my house from the last transfer.

All along I have desired to move into my own house. This has been my primary objective for the past 2 years. However, I couldn't achieve my goal due to low income. Nonetheless, everything changed as soon as I started receiving transfer from GiveDirectly. I have begun my building project with my previous transfer. I will however, use part of my recent transfer to complete my house. Additionally, the balance money will be used to buy food and also expand my farm. GiveDirectly has been a huge blessing to me and my family.

We have been suffering for a very long time. However, from my own understanding, GiveDirectly has been very honest in delivering cash to us poor people. Sometimes it all seems unreal for me to have received such amount of money as good will. I am overwhelmed with joy to be part of this program. Finally, I see nothing that GiveDirectly is not doing quite well.

I needed to complete my house project to move in with my family. Moreover, I also decided to extend my farm and buy enough food for my home. Therefore, when I received my transfer, I bought two bundles of zinc ($21,000LD) to roof my house. Likewise, portion of my transfer was used to purchase 2 bags of 25kg rice for my household. My balance transfer was used to pay workers expand my farmland. I am so fortunate to have benefited from this program.

Before receiving my second transfer from GiveDirectly. I'm deciding now to finish my house and focus on my business. I'm going to paid someone to help cut some stick from the bush. I even bought my big daughter a phone that she is using in school. I will buy two more bundles of zinc and fews bags of cement. I even paid all of my children schools fees and also, buy them some schools material. I really appreciate GiveDirectly for what they have done for me. I was not even thinking of building a house, with zinc over it and cement.

In my own opinion GiveDirectly has done great things for me and my family. I was not even thinking of building a house with zinc and cement. I'm now thinking about having a new house with zinc and cement. GiveDirectly is one NGO that i really give them credit in theirs job. I'm going to be able to paid all of my children schools fees. I can now eat good food because we are doing small business. The hard time is cool down now because of what GiveDirectly is doing.

My most recent transfer that I received from GiveDirectly. I bought zinc and cement to finish my house. I paid my children schools fees and bought them some schools material. I bought my big daughter a phone that she using in school. I paid some people to help me cut some stick from the bush. I bought fews pics of planks to add on the stick. I went to change the whole roofs of this house to zinc. I'm awaiting my next transfer to come so that i can do a small business. When i received my next transfer i will finish my house.

I was on my farms when I received my transfer it was so surprising to me, because it was my first time to get this type of money from any NGO in Liberia. I went in the town with the new to my wife and children we all started rejoicing about this money. After two weeks i went for the money so that i can started building my new house. I was so happy about this money because my children schools feel was my mean target. I'm really happy about this programs the GiveDirectly has brought to us in Rivercesse. Life wasn't really good with me but with the help of GiveDirectly I'm now able to doing something good for myself.

The biggest difference in my life is that, i was not able to build a new house for my children. I was even finding it very difficult in paid my children schools feel on time. Since GiveDirectly started giving me this money I'm now able to build a new house. I really use to worry about my children schools feel, and how to even feel then per day. But with the help of GiveDirectly I'm now able to feel my family and paid my children school fees. Now with standing I'm trying to build a zinc house for my children.

My most recent transfer I just bought zinc and cement to complete this mocks house that i have now. I even bought some food for the house and i paid the guys who is building my house. I even paid my children schools feel and bought them some schools material. I'm very thankful to GiveDirectly for their support towards us me because it was easy for me. It was very much difficult for me to even provide for my children. I'm even thinking about starting a new business to help me and my family.
