How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
I am Bendu Kiazolu from Bapa town, Bomi County Liberia. I planned to build my house before receiving my third cash transfer from Givedirectly.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
In my opinion, Givedirectly help me at the time I was in need of money to solve major problems. I was eligible for the cash transfer and decided to use the money wisely. I am grateful today that I am in school, have a brand new mattress and about to build a decent house. Even though I am still in this village but I am happy that I am in school and will some days move to the city to achieve higher education. Thanks to Givedirectly and those who contributed in helping me get enroll. May God bless you all.
What did you spend your most recent transfer(s) on?
Upon cashing out, I bought four bags of Cement, and twenty five pieces of planks. These materials are presently here with me and I am thinking of starting my project upon receiving my last cash transfer from Givedirectly.
