"I am happy because I been suffering and never handled such cash in my life.I appreciate the gift from Givedirectly it brought happiness in my household.All the process in receiving this money was fair.Thanks Givedirectly for making my life better."

"I want to build a new house and paid my kids tuitions,So I spent my most recent transferred to paid my four children school fees and I bought three bundles of roofing sheets."

"When I received my money From GiveDirectly I was really happy. Because,from the time I was born and now I'm 73 years of age I have not seen any NGO to help poor people like the way GiveDirectly is doing, To give out such a huge cash to poor people for them to improved their own lives. From my youthful days I have live in extreme hardship, My house is in a very bad condition when ever rain falls my children and I get wet. I have always wanted to build a better shelter but I couldnot afford the cost of purchasing roofing sheets and buying planks."

"I want to build my own house so when I received my first money from GiveDirectly ,I used it to purchased roofing sheets. and the balance was used to paid my children tuitions."

"The biggest difference in my daily life since I started receiving money from GiveDirectly is I can now confidently and proudly say that I am living like a person. I no longer go through the hardships I used to before I started receiving money from GiveDirectly, especially having to do the tiresome and tedious work of cutting trees and burn charcoal to sell. We now get food regularly and have goats that supplement our meals and will continue taking care of us for a long time. I am so happy and proud."

"" Firstly, I'm very much delighted be selected to form part of exercise and I want to thank GiveDirectly for such an opportunity! For the past six years till now, farming had been our livelihood. The proceeds from the crops harvested yearly is used to sustain the home and to pay our children school fees, but at times times it seems difficult to met up with these obligations, most especially whenever we experience low harvest. So, if am eligible to receive this cash transfer, I will reserve huge portion ofr my children's school fees.""

""I am pregnant, expecting my second child but yet am still living under the roof of my aunt where I had my first child two years ago which I see as a shame. I wish to have my own house but I do not have the financial strength to do so neither do my fiance. If am eligible, I will happily build a house of my own.""

"" Financially I'm incapacitated. Last December my wife underwent surgery in fishtown hospital which caused us lot of money since then things haven't been easy . Getting food for my family had been difficult . Secondly paying my children school fees had also been challenging because we don't have any means of income accept the little farm we survive on . ""

"I have no new goals. I am just so grateful that GiveDirectly came to my town. I was overjoyed when I got enrolled in its cash program. This is a life saver for me. Things have been difficult for me. I had lost hope. My children father left me with our 2 children and went to Monrovia with another woman. He doesn't help me at all. I have no where to get money from. My brothers assist with one of my daughters tuition and our upkeep. The fact that I'm on this program, I know our lives will improve for the best."
