"In my opinion, Givedirectly is one of the best and transparent Organizations in Liberia.Givedirectly syle of sending direct transfer to recipients through mobile money is really helpful. Few months from now, our community will surely have a beautiful look. Thanks to Givedirectly for everything they have done. I don't really see area where Givedirectly needs to improve."

"GiveDirectly staff are very friendly and they talked to us in a polite and respectful manner. They explained to us well what the program was all about and we were able to understand well what the program was all about. They are also very free and fair in the way they enrol people since they do not accept bribes."

"I spend the most recent transfer to purchase 2bundles of zinc to roof my house. I also paid contractors to start cutting stick in the bush to start building. I have been sleeping on mat for years in my room due to hardship and my children have been challenged with food issues in this Village, I used some of my transfer to buy one 21inches mattress for my room and buy half bag of rice for the home. Thanks to Givedirectly for coming to my aid. I believe that through Givedirectly kind gesture, my suffering will soon come to an end."

"I spent most of the transfer money on buying chairs and cushions. The chairs and the cushions cost me a total of KES 18000. I had built another house with the first transfer. I was however not able to buy any chair since the money was not enough and hence the house was practically empty. We are grateful to GiveDirectly because we now have nice seats to sit on and relax with our family members and friends. Apart from the chairs and cushions, I also bought three bags of maize at a total cost of KES 12000, four goats at a total cost of KES 15000, clothes at KES 6000, and KES 5000 to agriculture."
