"I have been having previous goals before receiving this transfer but these goals could not be archived due to no finance. I have been planning to buy a new mattress and send my son to school but I have not been able due to lack of money. It has not been easy for me of the sleepless nights I been through and the absence of my son in school but thank God for GiveDirectly. The coming of GiveDirectly has made my dreams come true. I will be able to send my child to school to have a better future and buy my mattress to have a comfortable sleep."

"Before receiving this transfer, My Children dropped out of School two years back . I never had any plan of sending them back to school due to hardship. Eachtime my youngest son used to cried for school business. I used to convinced him that not everyone suppose to learn . This situation was really embarrassing to me to watched my children sitting home without going to school. Immediately I started receiving my transfer, I changed my plan of taking my children to the farm for work to them going back to formal school. I really appreciate GiveDirectly for restoring my hope. With this transfer, I am going to make petty business and send my children back to school."

"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: I had a desire of building my own house in Buchanan, Grandbassa Country so two years ago I started trying to put some effort in making my dream a reality by purchasing a land. When givedirectly came it was an opportunity for me to fulfill my dream so when i received my first transfer from givedirectly i started with the construction of my house process, therefore I purchase few bags of cement and sand to start producing bricks for the construction process, but because of the financial crisis i had to plus for a while. With the second transfer i was able to purchase more bags of cement and sand to produce more bricks. I was also able to use some of my money to pay both my children tuition and school fees which has help me relax for the mean time."

"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."
