"Before I could start receiving my transfer, I have been living in my parents' house and life has been very difficult for me but I'm grateful to Give Directly for the help. However, I'm planning to build a house and I'm about to start a small business."

"Starting a new business had been my plan. When I got my first transfer from GiveDirectly, I withdrew it and saved it because I need the money to be enough to accomplish my goals. I'm waiting for my next transfer to buy a new motorbike to generate the money that I need to start my business and also educate myself for a better future and better job opportunities."

"I spend my most recent transfer to buy four bundles of zinc. I also bought food and saved eight thousands Liberian Dollars."

"Yes. I have been living in a deplorable tarch house over ten years. I decided to build a modern house with zinc when I got my first transfer from GiveDirectly. GiveDirectly have make my dream come true. I also decided to engage in new business. Henceforth, when GiveDirectly leaves my town, I don't want to go back to the struggling life I have been living previously. I am grateful to GiveDirectly for this wonderful opportunity."

"I needed to complete my house project to move in with my family. Moreover, I also decided to extend my farm and buy enough food for my home. Therefore, when I received my transfer, I bought two bundles of zinc ($21,000LD) to roof my house. Likewise, portion of my transfer was used to purchase 2 bags of 25kg rice for my household. My balance transfer was used to pay workers expand my farmland. I am so fortunate to have benefited from this program."

"I have decided to plaster my house and also put floor within the entire house. Therefore, when I received my transfer from GiveDirectly, I bought 10 bags of cement for $16,000LD. I also used portion of my transfer ($5,650LD) as transportation for both the cement and myself. Moreover, the remaining portion of my transfer was saved to pay contractors. I am so relieved at the moment. I thank GiveDirectly for making me to realize the dream of completing my house."

"I purchased zinc, nails and planks with my recent transfer."

"I was pounding cassava to make fufu and gari to take to the market to sell. Members of my town were rejoicing that GiveDirectly have send their transfer. When my husband and I went to a network site to check my phone, my account was loaded. I was very excited till I started dancing. We are farmers. We make farm for survival. My husband cut palm and produce palm oil. We take those products to the market to sell before buying food for us. We are living in my mother in law house and it's already damaged. My children have been going to school without uniform and book bags. This transfer is such a great help for my family."

"I invested my transfer in business and the balance was used to buy a mattress."

"Give Directly is doing well by helping us with money to empower our lives."
