"I have to burn charcoal to send my children to school and the work is very hectic. Though the money that GiveDirectly is giving us will not be paid back, I don't want to lavish the money on things that will not bring benefit to me. Now that GiveDirectly has come with this help and they told us to put the money into anything good that will benefit us, I think that if I use the money to send my children to school; I will also benefit in the future. If my children are sent to good schools and educated, I will benefit a lot. If you look at the zinc on my house, you will see that it is very old and leaking. We are in the rainy season and most times I can go to attend to my charcoal business. Every time, before heading out, I have to place buckets to spots that are leaking because if I don't, I will meet my things wet. So, the next thing I will do is to take some of the money and change the zinc over my roof." (Occupation: Small business)

"I live in a house with two rooms. One of my rooms are leaking and because of that, my children and I can sleep in the same room. It can be too embarrassing to me. So, when I get this money, the first thing I will do is to reroof my house. I will also buy sticks and call a carpenter to fix my place. At least, when this is done, I will be satisfied. I also used to have a provision shop that I ran. When my second daughter got seriously ill, I had to use my business money til she recovered. This made me to have money to continue running my business and feed my family. Because of getting food on my table, I jumped into agriculture. On my farm, I plant vegetables and fruits to sell and sustain my family. The next thing that I will do after fixing my house is to start a business. By doing business, I can now start catering fully for my children and I."

"My main challenge is, I don't have money, I am really finding it difficult to survive because of lack of money. I really want to do business, but no money."

"" If God help me succeed, I will improve my business, support our children in school, and buy food."

"Being a polygamous household, I am not doing any business now to maintain my family. My children are out of school because I don't have money to pay their fees. My husband ride people motorbike to provide for us. the farm we make cannot maintain the family. The house we live in is my father house and when the rain is falling, the house starts to leak. If I receive this money I will build my house and send my children to school."

"My husband and I burn coal to sustain our family for the past (6) years. The money we earned from the coal we burn is not enough to maintain the family. We send (3) of our children in Monrovia to stay with some of our relatives because, we can't afford to maintain all of them. The house I'm in now is a family place and it's very old. At times when the rain is falling, the house starts to leak. I really want to move but how can I, when I don't have house to move in. If I recipient this money I will build my house and start my own business." (Occupation: Small business)

""I told you from the beginning that I have family in Totota, Margibi County, and now I'm old, so if I have any money I will put it into selling small small things, like candy, biscuits, etc, in other to be helping myself and my family; when I start to do this small small things business, and it grows in my hand then I will think about doing other things.""

"If my household qualify to receive the cash transfer, I will use the cash to start up a business which will be a great help to sustain my family in many ways."

"My husband and myself have so many borden on us so if I am successful for Give Directly Cash transfer program, I want to use some of the money to pay the children school fees and to make business with some the money, this will keep us up. As we are currently in the rainy season, some major parts of my roof is leaking, so I will also use some of the money to recondition the roof of my house."

"I have been trying to build a house for my family and I in Monrovia but due to the hard time, I haven't been able to finish it, so is I am successful for this program, I will use some of the money to finish my house and also use some to sent my children to school and also make business."
