I spent my recent transfer on improving my life and also my family life, by purchasing more goods for my business.

I've been living in Gbayolo Town River Cess County more than three to four years now. My boyfriend and I came here to make life. Unfortunately for me he left me because of different woman. Things has been very ugly and difficult for me and my children. I have been planning to do good business that will enable me take good care of myself and my two children. I really want a better future for my children. However, I have been doing a small drt gooda business. I decided to add more money to my existing business. I purchased more new dry goods to add to the old goods to make my business bigger. when I received the money, I was so very much happy. I have never felt so relief in my entire life. The feeling I had was so extraordinary. I just want to extand my thanks and appreciation to the entire family of Give Directly for their excellent job done the life of my children and myself and the community by extension.

In my opinion Give Directly is doing very well in changing many people's life in River Cess County. Their enrolment processes are amazing. It's difficult to impose their program. My business has improve a little and i am hopeful. This cash transfer will help.me sustain my family when all of my transfer has been sent. Am so happy and i feel less stressful now a day. I just want to exstand my appreciation to the family of Give Directly for the excellent job done in my life.

I spend all of my money on purchasing more dry goods to be added to my dry goods business. I really wanted to improve my business. There has been many other NGOs who had worked in this village for the so purpose of bettering our community. However, they never communicated the project to the community members. They couldn't identify what we really needed as individual improvement. Give Directly is doing very well for the betterment of the people's of River Cess County. I am grateful for all the immense contributions coming from GiveDirectly. I am overwhelmed by the level of improvement that is beginning to happen in tgis village. I am sure after our last transfer family lives will improve and our village by extension will look better.

" I was very impressed when I received the text message. I have not had the opportunity to handle such a huge amount in my entire life. After I got the message about the transfer, I was not only happy about the one I have received but also about the ones that are yet to come. I started to plan about what to do next. There came a plan to start my own business which will sustain me".

" The biggest difference between now and then is Now that I am feeling very relaxed. I am relaxed because I no longer worry about what I am going to eat, tomorrow, and so on like it has been. Now I am feeling like a real big woman because I can't report to anyone. I am my own boss, no pressure. What makes me more relaxed is that I still have a good amount of money that will come to me. I feel like there is no bad day now and it is my hope plan to increase the business to a bigger size". Whenever you don't have money to but things that your peers have, it can sometimes isolate you. The funny thing is that no one will drop you but shame up keep you away. I no longer shy away from other social activities that my previous condition keep me away from".

" I purchased goods to sell. I have not sold goods before. I know that selling will give me the opportunity to earn my own money. If I have my own money, I will be independent and no man will take disadvantage over me because I will have my own purchasing power. I am saying this because I have had an experience before and I know that it will not continue any longer".
