I have always thought of building a zinc house. I also want to extend my business and focus on my children's education. My the special grace of God I was able to earn more than a thousand dollars a day from the bike am running.

From the beginning of the program up to the present, Give Directly has been so good to me. My life has changed in a very good dimension. I have become a house owner and also make my cash a day. My prayers are always with this organization and their staffs.

I have not spent my transfer yet. Am saving it for future use. Am planning on buying additional material to complete my house.

When I got my first transfer, I spent it on my daughter illness because it was my priority at that time. Through that transfer, she got treated and recovered from her illness. I am grateful to GiveDirectly for rescuing her life. Housing has been my major problem. I live with my family in my aunty house. I have been wishing to build my own house, but I couldn't raise the money with all the family burdens that I have. When I got my second money, I bought four bundles of zinc to construct my own house. When I got my third transfer, I developed a new goal by adding additional money to my transfer to buy a new motorbike. This motorbike is being used on traffic to generate money for me to build my house. It will continuously generate money for my family support. GiveDirectly has given me a life time establishment.

GiveDirectly is an exceptional NGO because every process of GiveDirectly program is free and fair. There is no third party involve in interacting with me. I am allow to spend my money the way it will benefit my family. GiveDirectly staff are respectful. I think GiveDirectly is doing everything well.

I spent my most recent transfer on buying motorbike. It has been my plan to build my own house because I live in my aunty house, but I have not been having permanent source of income. I bought zinc with my second transfer. With my third transfer, I thought it wise to buy a motorbike that will continuously generate money for me. Since I bought the motorbike, I now earn not less than 4000LRD daily. By next month, I will start my building project. GiveDirectly has done extremely well for my family. I really appreciate GiveDirectly for this transfer.

I currently live in a two bed room apartment with my wife and my three children. Due to low finances, we've been managing here for some times. Eventhough, because of limited space it has become very uncomfortable to have a proper rest particularly at night after a long day of hard work. Hence, with GiveDirectly mobile money transfer, I've decided to build a new and bigger house containing four(4) bedrooms and two(2) bathrooms. My new goal of moving into a bigger house will provide comfort and freedom for me and my entire family. I'm so pleased about this initiative.

From my own school of thought, GiveDirectly has been very honest and open in selecting who should benefit from this program. By giving us (poor people) cash directly to help improve our lives without expecting to get anything in return is rare and beyond imagination. I personally do not see anything that GiveDirectly doesn't do well.

I've always wanted to build a big and comfortable house that would accommodate me and my wife along with our three(3) beautiful children. For this reason, I bought two(2) bundles of zinc for $240.00usd ($33,600LD). I also used portion of the money to purchase few packs of nails and the balance was used on transportation.

"I was in the bush parking my planks when i received a massage notification on my phone. I read it to my surprise, it was from Givedirectly. I was very happy to received such amount. I ran home in a hurry to inform my wife.in no time we immediately got on bike and went to Buchanan to withdrawn it. before it was not easy for my family we couldn't even afford food at times .i have dreamed of getting my own motorcycle and am hoping that my second transfer will be used to purchase one motorcycle. I was able to pre paid for a bike with the sum of $10000 LD. Am so happy that we have business that we can earn something that can enable us to feed on a day and also save some in a susu card.

The difference in my daily life since I received my transfer from Givedirectly, i used to walk distances in such of greener pastures for my family.my wife was going throught a hard labor just to help with the house responsibilities she used to take farming contracts from people around the village and do it for less amount. Since I received Givedirectly money l have been able to eat twice a day with a desert. Am able to pay my children school fees and get materials for school. Our way of life is changing gradually because, my wife is no longer doing those hard work anymore because she now own her own petty business at home. We have become one big family.

"I bought rice to sell with some of the money Givedirectly give me. I was able to buy two bundle for of zinc with the sum of $12000 LD and materials for my new house project. Helping friends to run their bikes , selling wood has been my source of livelihood. To cut down my expenses i was able to get my own planks for my building project. Getting my own bike has been an issue for me because ,i don't have money to buy a bike for myself .before getting this money i used to break wood and sell them to the dry fish women.at times i used to make $500 Liberian dollar a day from the wood selling since i received my transfer from Givedirectly my daily expenditure has increased because my family has gotten used to having meal three times a day we are happy for this great opportunity given to us by Givedirectly.
