I have been cutting palm throughout my life. From the kind of thing, I have done that has caused me health-related conditions, however, my goal is to stop doing that bushwork and do my own business.

I'm building a new house with the help of Give Directly, the hardships I was living have changed. I ran my bike daily and earn a very good amount. I am happy to be part of a God-sent organization. My appreciation to them.

In the recent transfer I received from Give Directly, I used some to buy a new Tvs star motorbike. I also bought rice.

When I got my first transfer, I bought cement to improve my house. I built my house two years ago, but I was not having money to plaster it. With my second and third transfers, my new goal is to buy motorbike which I have already bought. This motorbike will cotinue to generate money for my family sustainability. I appreciate GiveDirectly for this transfer.

GiveDirectly gives me money without attaching any condition. I choose what to do with my transfer. There is no corruption. GiveDirectly program is corrupt free. In my opinion, GiveDirectly is doing everything well.

I spent my recent transfer on buying new motorbike. This motorbike is a self employment for me. I was very poor harvesting palm and producing the oil to sell and feed my family. I generate not less than 6000LD per week. GiveDirectly has transformed my life from poverty to a better life. Even if GiveDirectly leaves my community, I will be able to sustain my family. I appreciate GiveDirectly for this transfer.

My goals before recieving this transfer is to plaster my house with cement,put floor in my house, and improve my roof. Due to financial constraints, I have not been able to find my ways through to achieve those goals. Now that I have this money, I am going to buy cement to plaster and put floor in my house and zinc to improve my roof.

I think GiveDirectly is doing well by giving us the money for ourselves to decide what to do with it. However, I think GiveDirectly should have an arranged discussion with the GSM company to have a cash out center closer by to avoid us spending more on transportation.

I spent my most recent transfers on cement. I bought about twenty bags of cement and two bundles of zinc to plaster, put floor, and improve my roof. When this is done, it will be the first time ever in my life to live in a house that will have the roof covered with zinc and the floor with concrete.

"It was my very first time in life to see and handle this kind of money. I was shocked and out of words by the figure $ 40,375 LRD. To say I was happy will not even be enough to describe my feeling when I saw the message. I was working in the bushes when I got the text alert. I did not think I was going to receive this kind of money due to all the negative things that people had said about GiveDirectly. When I saw the message I was so overwhelmed. As you can see (pointing to his house) my house is not in a descent condition. It leaks whenever ran falls. We are always in fear when the rainy season is approaching. I fear for my children health. But with this good Will from GiveDirectly, I am trying to change my living condition".

When I look at my house every morning, I feel so happy. It's so satisfying to finally have a dream come true as a family head and a father. The smiles on the faces of my kids and wife has been so emotional. Even though the plastering hasn't been completed, I can only thank God for GiveDirectly that I can put smile on the faces of my kids and wife. That I now see fresh smile on their faces of my family shows the biggest difference in my daily life.

I couldn't do anything beyond improving my house with this money. It has been my deepest desire to have a descent living condition for my family. With the first transfer, I bought some cement to improve my house, plaster my entire building and make concrete floor. This will help my children from becoming sick regularly due to cold. They always fell sick after a month or two from sleeping on the cold floor. I also bought some food for the house and saved the rest for the future.
