"In my opinion, Givedirectly is one of the best Organizations in Liberia for now. Givedirectly style of sending cash transfer directly to families is very helpful .Many families are using their transfers to improve their dwelling places ,while others are using theirs to send their children to school. For area of improvement , Givedirectly needs to build strong rapport with Lonestar MTM for cashing out recipients money. With this approach of work, I believe that it will ease the stress recipients"

"Before receiving payment from GiveDirectly, I was never thinking about building a house for my family and I. Presently, I am living in a rented house that is not even in a favourable condition. With this transfer I am now contemplating on building my own house. Therefore, I will use a portion of the money to buy three bundles of zinc. Secondly, I will use the balance money to buy sticks and other building materials. The thought of becoming a house owner bring me more joy each and everyday."
