"The coming of rhis transfer was very timely. Givedirectly had rescue me from being sick from the cold and putting smile on my face because my son is going back to school. My most recent transfer has been spend on my son school fees and my mattress that I have long been planning to buy."

"I used some of the money to paid my children registered my children. I bought three guarantee back bags with three douzen of copy books for their schooling. I am overwhelmed by GiveDirectly kind gesture. I believe that with receiving this transfer, I will also re plaster my house from mud to cement."

"The biggest difference made in my daily life since I started receiving my transfer from GiveDirectly are, I can now cook rich food in my house without any management for school fees or re roofing house. I believe that with receiving GiveDirectly transfer, few months from now, my dream to sleep in decent house will come to pass."

"Since I started receiving payment from GiveDirectly, most of my recent transfer was spend on purchasing zinc, planks, nail and other building materials. Moreover, portion of my transfer was used to pay contractors cut sticks for the building projects. With GD transfer, I'm able to achieve my greatest desire of building a new house."

"Before receiving payment from GiveDirectly, I was doing farming work. However, due to my poor health condition, it was always difficult to do very hard work that could yield good result.For this reason, life was always difficult for my family. With this transfer I am now planning on starting a business to enable me support my children in school and provide food for my family. I am also planning to built a bigger house because the one we are living in right now is not spacious enough to accommodate I seven(7) children."

"The biggest difference in my daily life since I started receiving payment from GiveDirectly is that I'm hopeful of building a new house for me and my family to move in very soon. In so doing, I am planning to buy three bundles of zinc and planks for this house project. This renewed hope has been the biggest difference in my daily life."

"RE: Givedirectly is doing very well from the enrolment process up to present their system is really good. Every individual from givedirectly that had ever come here to talk to me had been kind and friendly. One major problems a lot of us(recipients) are face with here in Rivercess is cashing out of our transfer, this area have only one cashout area therefore most of the time there's no money and most people have to travel Buchanan,Grandbassa to cashout which is stressful for especially the old folks. I think givedirectly should set up a cash out system in Rivercess, Cestos city to help their recipients get their cashout in full amount and avoid their recipients being cheated by mobile money agents, because sometimes people are being cheated because they are not illiterate."

"RE: I was a student who was attending school in Monrovia but because of difficulties and financial constraints i had to dropped out of school and return home to hustle. Meanwhile once my return back to this my village i started negotiating for a motorbike in other to start transport business. Fortunately for me, young men here such as me organise a daily savings that is for motor cyclists, once you join the savings you are given a motorbike to start transport business to help you keep with payment. At the end of each month one person is given the money and the person is to use the money to rebust the rightful owner of the motorbike they are operating, meanwhile the motorbike becomes yours and there after you can decide what to do with your money everytime you make transport. Now the biggest problem I had was completing the motorbike payment but when givedirectly send my transfer i clear the payment for my bike something I would have taken a year or more to do. Today because of givedirectly transferi now own a motorbike. Now that am my own boss, i have started saving from my tansport business to build my own house."

"RE:" I have been thinking about renovating my house both in and out side but I could not afford the money because i do not have any where to get such amount from. Even to have eat a full meal and taking care of me and my children was impossible. My brothers had been the ones always helping me out financially because am a single parent at the moment. My husband who was also my children's father passed away and since his death everything had been difficult for me and the children. Now that givedirectly have started giving me money am going to register my children and am going use the rest of the money to start the process of renovating my house."

""The challenges are many now, but the major ones are school and completion of house and food reason been is that there is no cash for my children to complete their education and also there is know food for the maintenance of my family. I believe when the cash arrive there will be some change in my household."
