Moses, before GD came, I planned to build a house but could not be realized the house building due to lock of funding. My entire life had been farming, selling the small products from the farm could not still help. Sending my children to school was the most stressful thing in my entire life. Seeing my two (2) girls children out of school seating home was very painful for me, I could not do any thing about it because the funding was not there at all. I got enrolled as a recipient on the GD program and started receiving transfers, I believe that my life have changed and will be able to do things that I could not do. With these transfers, I can now start to build a house and send my children back to school.

I want to take this time to say a very big thanks to Give Directly for services rendered us during the entire enrollment process. In opinion, you was very transparent during the process and your jobs were done excellently. This is first of it kind in Liberia to just see an INGO enrolling villages and give them unconditional cash.

I was able to buy four (4) bundles of zinc, wire Niles, zinc Niles, paid people to cut the Sticks, bought four (4) bags of cement and paid someone to saw some planks to start building my house. I was also able to comfortably paid my two(2) girls school fees. Thanks to the entire Give Directly family for the level of support to us that can now enable us to improve our lives from mat to matress.

Yes, I have new goals that I set to achieved. I lived in a dilapidated house and my New goal is to build a better shelter that will keep my family safe and warm especially during the rainy season. With Give Directly financial assistance I will achieved my goal.

In my opinion GiveDirectly should continue to help poor people by giving them direct cash transferred.

When I received my second transfer from GiveDirectly my family was lacking food and basic household items, Also,my kids where out of school because I could not afford to paid their tuitions. So, I spent portion of my transfer to purchase 2 bags of 25 kg rice and paid my kids tuitions. Lastly, I want to build a better shelter for my family , Because the house we lived in is In a dilapidated condition. I bought three bundles of roofing sheets to do the roofing work upon completing the elevation.

My wife and I live in this village and is no network. We had to travel to a nearby village to check my mobile money acount. When I saw that my first transfer has arrived, We both became to dance and praise God for what he has done. I was leading the praise song while my wife was responding. It was a time of praise and worship. We were so happy about this.

I had to set tripe and do contracts and sometime even sell bitter root to buy food for my family. Life was so hard for me that I had to get involve with planting of rice and banana just to survive. I have been living in tarch house all long , but Since I started receiving this money my life is getting better. I am planing to build a modern house in my village. This money had enabled me to hire people to brush a bigger farm this year to plant.

I was able to purchased three bundle of zinc to build my house. I also bought a bag of rice for my family, few galloms of gasoline to sew planks to start our construction. I am keeping the balance cash for workmanship. We hope to begin our project soon.
