"Before recieving this transfer, my goals have always been to work hard and look for money to send my children to school and to have my house covered with zinc. Now that I have this amount of money, my plan is to roof my house with zinc and send my children to school. Life has been difficult from the beginning but I thank God for GiveDirectly for coming into my community with this life changing opportunity."

"My most recent transfer that I received from GiveDirectly programs just fews days ago. I'm going to paid my children schools fees and also buy them some schools material for this academic year. I bought zinc and cement to finish my house so that i can focus on my business. I bought some food for the house for this Christmas season and new years. I also paid some people to help cut some stick from the bush to add on the plank that i bought. I'm going to paid someone to help me clear where,i went to build my new house. After this I'm now awaiting my next transfer to come so that i can finish with the whole project."

"In time past all of the burden of feeding our home and providing extra care for our family has been on my husband's shoulders. However, the biggest difference in my daily life since I started receiving transfer from GiveDirectly is that I am able to earn my own money and also provide food for my household. I am so pleased to have benefited from this project that has helped improve our livelihood."

"Due to limited finances, it has been very difficult to undertake two of my major projects. Nonetheless, with GiveDirectly's financial assistance, I am able to undertake both projects at the same time. This method of giving huge amount of cash to poor man like me without expecting anything in return has transformed my entire life and the lives of many others. Hence, GD has been doing everything so well and I am pleased to be a part of this project."

"I was in dire need of finances to complete my house and also buy Christmas clothes for my children. Therefore, when I received my transfer from GiveDirectly, I bought two bundles of zinc for $21,000LD to complete my house project. I also used portion of the money to set up a new (slippers) business. My balance transfer was used to buy my children clothes for the season. I appreciate GD for all they've done in transforming the lives of me and my family."

"GiveDirectly if wasnt for them it wasnt going to be easy especially sendong my chilfren to school"

"RE: As i have purchase all of the zinc to start my house project, Am going to use this my transfer to take my house from ground level to roof and complete the furnishing. My biggest dream right now is to move in my house before givedirectly can leave my community."

"RE: Am a Pastor for a church here and as the pastor of the church i received visitors most of the time and it have been very embarrassing for me, because i don't have enough space in my house to host my guests most of the time. The house am presently in is very small therefore everytime I have guest from other towns and villages during the church conference i become embarrassed. So i decided on building a bigger house but the finance was my biggest problem but now I have a decent big house with enough space to host a lot of people for this year conference."

"RE: Life has been very hard on me and my household i have a son that normally converse while sleeping, it do not happen to him everyday but once or twice in a month. I use my second transfer to purchase him a pill someone told us about, now he's not conversing like before but he uses the bathroom often which is little uncomfortable for him most times. With this our new transfer we have plan to take him to the hospital in Monrovia for proper check up than we can use the rest if there's any, to renovate our house."

"RE: We have never received such gift from any organisations( NGOs or government). Before givedirectly could come, it was difficult surviving here, because my wife and I only did little agricultural activities which could not give much money. We purchase a land years back from our savings but could not start a structure on it because of our financial struggles. With our givedirectly transfers we have planned to construct a house on the land in Cestos city and start a little business at home here, because the house we are living in here already have a shop connected to it"
