My goal is to build my owned house in my village, because the house I'm living in right now is our family house, and the rooms are very small for me and my children, that's why I decided to build my own house. Before than a wasn't easy on me, to even get food for my family, used to be very difficult for me. But I'm so happy and thankful to GiveDirectly for their support. Because of their support my life will changed for the better. I'm now building my dream house in my village.

I'm so much overwhelms right now, in my opinion, givedirectly did very well in my life and that of our village. If it wasn't for givedirectly my mother could have died, givedirectly give me money that I was able to save my mother life. givedirectly give me phone to call my family in Monrovia, givedirectly changed our entire village with so many new houses, givedirectly changed my life as well, there's nothing that givedirectly hasn't done well.

When I received my transfer I took 14,000LD for workmanship, my mother was very sick I took 17,000LD for her hospital treatment. I was able to paid my children school fees as well, I bought additional building materials, I also bought enough food for my family. The balance money I'm saving it for futures business.

I live in a smaller house with my mother and four children. The two(2) bedroom apartment has become less spacious and uncomfortable for a family size of six(6) persons. For this reason, I've yearned for a bigger and more spacious house of my own. After receiving my transfer, I decided to build a four bedroom house. I also had only two of my four children attending school. However, when I received my second transfer, I immediately registered my other two kids in school.

I truly admire the various processes used by GiveDirectly in selecting qualify people within a particular town to benefit from this project. Some of these steps include reaching out to poor people in hard to reach towns and villages. With the transfer received from GiveDirectly, our livelihood has improved. I'm so much grateful to be part of this unique opportunity.

The two bedroom apartment has become smaller and uncomfortable for a family size of six. Moreover, having all of my children attend school this academic year has been one of my top priorities. In so doing, when I received my transfer from GiveDirectly, I bought eight (8) gallons of gasoline ($3,800LD) to saw wood and build my house. I also bought 2 bags of 25kg bag of rice for $4,100LD. Finally, huge portion of the money was used to pay two of my children yearly tuition for this academic year.

I was very impressed when I received the transfer. I was on the farm harvesting rice when I received the transfer. We were four persons on the farm, so I didn't shout, because I was afraid that some of them who know about phone might steal my transfer from my phone. I kept my happiness within. I have been wishing to get money to build a house. The house my family lives in is very small, and it can't host us any longer. I bought some building materials to begin my house project. My entire family celebrates GiveDirectly for this transfer. The way I feel about this transfer can't just be express in words. I was excited about the transfer. The happiness is still in me up to presence. Three of my children have been living with relatives going to school, because I couldn't afford. Finance was a serious challenge for me. With this transfer, I have been able to sent some money for their registration and Tuition.

Unlike before, I am now able to registered my children in school. My children now have better and timely meal. We bought some building materials to start the building project. We are hoping to start soon. This is how GiveDirectly transfer has change my family life. I didn't think this could ever be possible with the hardship that I went through. This is the biggest difference in my daily life.

I spent my recent transfer on my children education and building materials. These two things have been my priority. I have five children. I gave three of my children to lived with my relatives because I couldn't afford to pay their fees in school. Upon receiving the transfer, I sent their registration fees and also registered the other two children that are living with me in school. I also bought znic to build a new house, because my family is large. The house my family lived in can't host us any longer. I can't stop apprecting GiveDirectly.
