My goal has always been to improve my house. I have been in a leakage house for the past years now. I remember many times I sell products from my harvest to save some money to buy materials for my house I couldn't push through because of financial constrain. I will like to send my bigger daughter to Buchanan to attend high school next semester after the completion of the house.

There are a lot of changes in my life since I got hold of cash from Give Directly. I just want to appreciate the organization for the level of things they have done in my life..my prayers are with them.

I used the money to buy six bags of cement to plaster my house. I also purchased two bags of rice and pay my daughter's remaining tuition. The balance money is in save I might likely give it to my daughter to start a vacation business.

The new goal I have make before receiving my recent transfer is for me to rebuild my old house that is breaking down. My husband was killed during the Liberian civil war. I have been the only source of income for my 6 children. Life has been very challenging to cater to these children without any support. I have Bern watching my house damaging but couldnot attend to it due to hardship. I am grateful that Givedirectly came to my aid. I believe that with receiving transfer from Givedirectly, I will be able to rebuild my house.

In my opinion, Givedirectly is really helping the poor to improve their lives. Givedirectly is very much transparent in implementations .Givedirectly is one of the Organizations that is free from corruption. For area of improvement , Givedirectly needs to strengthen the rapport with Lonestar MTM. Recipients go through challenges when cashing out their transfers. I believe that if Givedirectly negotiate with mobile money agents to help cashout recipients transfers in their respective communities, it will reduce the stress recipients go through while cashing out their transfers.

I was able to buy additional assorted zinc nails along with one bundle of zinc to start building. I have paid for 16 pieces of planks and I am awaiting the next transfer to start building . Thanks to Givedirectly for the cash support . I believe that with my transfer, my dream to live in a decent house will come to pass.

Since I started receiving my transfer, my new goal is to renovate my current house I stay in. My house is one of the oldest structures in our town. Potions of it is damaged due to heavy rainfall . My husband was killed during the Liberian civil war. From that moment until now, I am the only bread winners for my children. Life has been very challenging with me in this village. I never had any plan to renovate my falling house because of poverty . I am grateful to Givedirectly for the kind gesture. I cannot believe receiving huge money from Givedirectly free without anyone interference. Politicians make false promises to us in our community and could not they fulfill the promise. I believe that with my transfer, 1 will be able to properly renovate my house.

In my opinion, GiveDirectly systems of work is well organised. One thing I admire about GiveDirectly is that the organization does not make false promise. More Organization has fail us many times in this Village. I do appreciate GiveDirectly for being real to people. I don't see any system that needs improvement in GiveDirectly implementation.

I have paid for 4 bundles of zinc and one pack of assorted nails . I plan to wait for the next transfer to buy cement, saw plank and paid contractors to start renovating my house. Three of my children are mad nourished due to poor diet. I bought 2 bags of rice, enough dry fish with break fast materials for them to eat and grow fat. This transfer has brought so much joy to me. I believe that receiving this transfer, my family and I living conditions will improve .

Early in the morning I went to the creek in Beozohn to lay my basket; while I was in the bush at the creek trying to catch some fish, crab and crabfish for me and my family daily meal, my daughter called and said I have received mobile money transfer from GiveDirectly. At that moment, I left everything I was doing and started shouting, dancing and said to myself; with this money, I won't have to lay basket at the creek everyday before I can feed my home. I can also use portion of the money to buy custic and make soap for sale. Moreover, I would also be able to change the old tatch on my house to new zinc.

The biggest change in my life at the moment is that I am able to have more than one source of income (soap sales and laying basket) to cater to me and my family basic needs such as food, education and house renovation. All of these has been a huge challenge until I received GiveDirectly's money transfer. This transfer has changed my situation entirely and I'm grateful for this unique opportunity.

When I received my mobile money transfer from GiveDirectly I bought zinc to change the roof on my house. I was also able to buy more materials ( custic oil etc).. to continue my iron soap business. With this cash transfer from GiveDirectly, I have an extra source of income (soap sale) for survival apart from just laying basket.
