I want to become a successful cocoa farmer. I have two acres of cocoa farm. My target is five acres of farmland planted with cocoa. Therefore, in the coming year, I want to add additional three acres to the existing farm.

I must be thankful to Givedirectly for the unconditional cash transfer. The process is unique that no one can easily rub any recipient. This money helped me to build my house in my Town.

My plan is to build my house therefore, I spent my most recent transfer to Saw 150 pcs of planks to roof my house.

At the moment, I'm trying to improve my building skills so that I'm able to manage more projects in my village from neighbours. I hope after a few years and some more experience, I will be able to fully build a house to completion.

This organisation is a unique one. I admire their tireless effort to ensure charge in the lives of others. Hope they keep up their good work.

I have been a contractor for the past 3 years with a very low income to care for my family. My wife had to go into the bush to hustle animals to take them to the nearby towns and villages to sell and provide meals for the family. I've been around others who actually built a successful business and they did extremely well.So I intend to establish a business for my wife so that she will no longer go into the bush in search of animals again.The profits generated from the business will enable us to have a new house of ours.

My family and I live in one house made of thatch roof. Getting the thatches to cover the house is so difficult. At times, we walk two to three hours daily to get the thatches. However, the most frustrating part is, the thatches don't stay too long over the house,once the thatches are dried up the entire house starts to leak, especially during rainy seasons. We have live in this deplorable condition for more than 15 years and my plan has been to build a better shelter for my family. Since I could not afford to purchased building materials, I kept hoping that one day things will get better. Fortunately for me GiveDirectly came in to our village and enrolled me on her financial assistance program. When I got enroll on this program, I became overjoyed I felt that my plan of living in a decent house will be fulfilled.

My life has improved greatly since I started receiving transfer from GiveDirectly. In the past, my main challenge has been my house. The house roof is in a dilapidated condition,the roof is covered with grass thatches and getting the thatches to cover the house has been so difficult. At times, we walk two to three hours daily to get the thatches. However, the most frustrating part is, the thatches don't stay too long over the house. Once the thatches are dried up the entire house starts to leak, especially during rainy seasons. My plan has been to build a better shelter that will keep my family safe and warm but I could not afford to build a decent house , Because building materials I so expensive. Now that I'm receiving financial assistance from GiveDirectly my plan of building a better house will be fulfilled.

I have long planned to build a house big enough to accommodate all my family members. In the past, my family and I struggle so hard with our house. The roof of the house is in a deplorable condition. During rainy seasons we experienced leakages everywhere thereby making us to have uncomfortable sleep. When I received my first transfer I went straight ahead to start procuring Roofing sheets,since the zinc is so expensive. For now, I purchased one bundle plus 15 sheets costing 30,000LD. Also I used 5000LD to transport the zinc to my village. I'm so much thankful to GiveDirectly for coming to my aid in such a difficult time.
