"Firstly I transfer some money to my three boys children who were in dying need of tuition. I also bought my mattress, a bag of rice and pay my debts."

"GiveDirectly is a life changing organization. What I know is that GiveDirectly is doing well by giving transfer to me with no third party involve. No body has ever requested anything from me since I got enrolled on this program. I can't stop appreciating GiveDirectly for the good work."

"I bought planks and six bundles of zinc to start building a house in Maryland for my children."

"The biggest difference in my life since the cash transfer came is trying to build a decent house for my family comfort."

"I bought four bundles of zinc, bought some planks for our house project. I also give the contractor advance payment of ten thousand Liberian dollars for our house project, food was bought for my household."

"I am so happy and blessed to have such opportunity because I have never expected to see myself coming to the level of the completion and expanding of my business. In my opinion, I believe that GiveDirectly does pretty much well by reaching out to every deserving households in various communities in my town during the enrolment processes and making decisions on their eligibility. This makes me believe that the process is fair. With this understanding, I have therefore seen nothing that is not done well by GiveDirectly. Thanks to Givedirectly for this help to me and my family and my town dwellers."

"I have not taken the transfer from Givedirectly from my account yet. If I do, I will extend my farm to sell the produce from it when my transfer stop coming. I have also planned to build myself a decent future house for my family and I. With this cash, I will also send my six children to school for them to have a better future."

"It was around 10 pm and I had just arrived home. I am a motorcycle rider and I had travelled to a far place, that is why I got home late. I had not gotten time to check my phone. It was when I arrived home that I decided to do so. I saw that I had a new message but I didn't bother to open it since I was too tired, I hence went straight to bed. It was until morning when I woke when I decided to read it. I could not believe it when I saw that it was an SMS from my mobile money provider saying that I had received KES 55000 from GiveDirectly. I was so happy that I lost words to say. I thanked God and GiveDirectly for the blessing which was definately going to change my life a lot."

"Since I started receiving payment from GiveDirectly my desired had been to renovate my house. And in renovating, I am planning on plastering the entire house. Additionally, I also planned on laying the entire floors. For this reason, I was able to buy additional 5 bags of cement to be added to the previous 4bags of cement in order to plaster my house and lay the floors."

I used my previous transfers and bought building materials to continue my building peoject from where it stop because I was not having money to complete it. I aslo used portion of it to buy food for my workers. I hope to move in my new house one month from now. I appreciate GiveDirectly for my transfer."
