My plan was to buy my owned motorbike, but I never had money to do so. I'm a farmer, my income was very low to accomplish my plan, to even get food to eat used to be very difficult for me some days. But with the help from givedirectly, my dream has come to passed. I'm now a motorcycle owner, my husband now running our bike. I'm so thankful to God because every week my husband brings 7 to 8 thousand Liberian dollars, I'm so happy, mu life has changed for the better.

Givedirectly has done very well in my life and that of our village, givedirectly has changed our entire village with so many new houses. Givedirectly make me a motorcycle owner, givedirectly has empowered our entire village with financial support. There's nothing that givedirectly hasn't done well.

When I received my last transfer I was able to paid back the money I credited to buy my motobike, I bought enough food for my family, and the rest of the money I was able to put it in my small business many thanks to Givedirectly for their support.

My new goal I have set before receiving this transfer is to renovate my old house and create one shop room to start selling goods in it. I want to fixed a shop space in my house because when there is heavy rainfalls, my goods get destroy. I believe that when my shop is completed, I will be able to sell more goods in it to help me generate more money to take care of family in the future .

In my opinion, Givedirectly offer free cash to the community. It was through Givedirectly cash transfer that I am selling in this village. I am grateful to Givedirectly for the cash supports. Every approach Givedirectly is using to enroll recipients on this program is unique and doesnot need any improvement. .

I spend my most recent transfer to buy ten bags of rice, along with 15cracks of softdrinks and paid for additional foodstuffs to sell. I want to start saving my goods profit in a saving club to help take care of my family in the future. Thanks to Givedirectly for the financial empowerment. I believe that with my transfer, my suffering will soon be over.

I wanted to start a business by buying and selling vita, salt, onions and oil right infront of my house. Therefore, when I received my transfer, I was very much elated. I bought enough goods to start my business. I also save part of my money to build a bigger shop and expand my business in the future. I am so thankful to God for this opportunity provided me through GiveDirectly transfer.

All GiveDirectly does is unique and special from my own point of view. This NGO is distinct in all they do. I am so amazed to be a part of this unique project. Thanks to GD for reaching out to poor people like us and changing our entire lives.

I have always dreamed of establishing a new business. So, as soon as I received my money from GiveDirectly, I bought bag of onion for $2,500LD. I also used portion of my transfer to purchase 3 cartons of chicken for 17, 700LD. The balance money was used to buy 12 gallons of oil for $10,000LD, 2 cartons of vita for 10,000LD and the remaining money was spent o transportation.

My husband wasn't employed so he used to go to the bush every morning to lack trap for animals. If he's fortunate he'll catch a squirrel or an ants eater etc... On other days, he came home empty handed. These are days I don't want to talk much about because we go to bed on empty stomach. Suddenly, that faithful morning while I was still in my room, I received my transfer from GiveDirectly. I was so overjoyed that tears started to roll down my cheeks. I knew fully well that this grant from GiveDirectly will be used wisely allowing my family and I have more than one source of income instead.

Before receiving my transfer from GiveDirectly, my husband and I depended solely on lacking trap to kill animals as our only means of survival. Nevertheless, with my transfer from GiveDirectly, I've empowered myself by establishing my retailed table market business. We no longer had to wait for a catch from the trap my husband set before having a daily bread. Most often, I used the profit from my retailed business to buy food for my home. I'm so thankful to GiveDirectly for such a life changing opportunity.

Before receiving my transfer from GiveDirectly, I wasn't working and lacking trap to catch animals was our only means of survival. Hence, my husband and I decided to put most of the money in business. I bought few bags of rice to be sold at $50LD per cup.I also bought fish and sold it at $100LD for 2 pieces. Furthermore, I bought a lot of other goods such as pepper, tye soap, biscuit , vita etc... All these were sold on a table market right infront of my house in James Town.
