"GiveDirectly has transformed many lives including mine in several different ways. For instance, I am able to send my children to school through their financial assistance. I am also able to roof my house with zinc. Moreover, with GD transfer, I have set up a new business that is providing an additional source of income. GiveDirectly is indeed a huge blessing to me and my family."

"Clearing school fees for my son that came as a priority was the best thing to have happened to me after receiving my first transfer. I have three children in school at the moment - two at the university level and the younger one yet to join a medical school. I am glad that I managed to clear a semester's fee of KES 35000 for my son with the first transfer as that was the most pressing one with a huge sum of money to be paid. I also had to renovate the current house by applying new pains on the interior walls that cost KES7000 and spent the remaining amount on buying foodstuff right from the Christmas period over the December festivities to date since we are still using the small remaining amount on buying foodstuff. It was a year with a difference in that we ended the year with a celebratory mood."

"The biggest difference in my daily life since I received the first transfer is the renovation and the extension of my house. It is now decent, easy to clean, and so spacious that it can accommodate all the seven members of my family and with an extra free space at the veranda that serves my tailoring business."

"I am planning to spend my most recent transfer to buy 4 packs of assorted zinc nails to roof my house. I have already purchased three budles of zinc from my past transfer and will definitely hire two contractors to start building my house. Secondly, my son is expected to graduate from high school in Monrovia . I am going to spend some of my transfer to pay my son graduation fees and organize small graduation party for him. I am grateful to Givedirectly for the cash support .I believe that with my transfer , my dream to live a successful life will soon come to pass."

"In my opinion, Givedirectly is really helping the poor in Liberia. Through Givedirectly cash transfer, many recipients have started building decent zinc houses in this village. Few months from now, the entire houses roofs in this village will be change from thatched to zinc. Thanks to Givedirectly for the cash support. For area of improvement,Givedirectly workers need to avoid jumping over communities in the future with implementation."

"I had new goals that I didn't have before receiving this second transfer which were adding stock to my fuel selling business as well as paying my children's school fees. These were the goals I had because I considered them good to me and that they would help improve my standards of living, take me to a level higher than the one I am at currently."

"I believe that GiveDirectly is doing everything right according to me, I got the assistance that I needed. I was able to settle my children's school fees arrears which makes me so grateful. I don't think that there's anything that GiveDirectly doesn't do well or right, we are grateful for assistance we received as it actually elevated our standards of living."

"I spent most of the transfer which was KES 40000 on buying two cows because I considered getting better than saving the money with a bank as there will be much more profit in selling the cows after they have multiplied and increased in numbers. I will be able to continuously depend and count them in the future as they are living and when they multiply I'll be able to sell one or two so as to address the financial challenges I will be facing in the future as compared to going to the bank where I saved my money and ask for a loan through my savings which I'll have to pay back later. I am, therefore, very contented with this decision I made."

"I didn't have any new goals that I didn't have before receiving this second transfer as the ones that I had were making more progress in as far as settling my children's school fees arrears. These arrears had accumulated over a long time and had made partial payment with the money from my first transfer. I then spent the other part of the transfer I meeting my family's immediate needs, which was buying food and paying back various debts that I owed the local kiosks where I used to get food on credit."

"I didn't have any new goals that I didn't have before receiving this second transfer, as the main aim and desire was to complete my house that I had started building with the first transfer. This was because I didn't want to abandon it and direct or spend the money on any other thing, which could potentially lead to the house collapsing yet it is the thing that I wanted the most."
