"At 9am while we were sitting with friends at home, I received a message in my phone. Since I don’t know how to read, I requested one of the children who were around to read the message for me. The child went through the whole text and only read out aloud the money part. I became curious to know more and she confirmed that I had received the transfer from GiveDirectly. My heart melted in happiness knowing that my life has been rescued."

"It was around 8am when I was conversing with my family members as we wait for breakfast, when I heard a message in my phone. I requested a child who was around to read the message for me and before she reads it, the other members whom we were conversing with also received their messages. All these messages were the same about the transfer from GiveDirectly. In unison, we ululated in happiness due to happiness."

"Yes. My goal is to have my own house, even though I have been desiring to have have my own nets and canoe. Living in a family house with my grown up children has always been challenging."

"I was home and my friend came to me that she has received her money, When I checked, mine was also there, I was so exited and a lot of good things began to run through my mind. I have never felt this way before, because my long awaited dreams was about to be fulfilled."

"My name is Folley Gomai Town, Dowein District, Bomi county. My planned had been to built for my family a new house from my cash transfer from Give Directly, currently, my plan reamins the same. My family and I have been engaged into agriculture activities since 5 years ago."

"My plan for the money is to build a new house, i have had the plan for sometime now but haven't had the cash to execute."

"The current hardship I facing is financial hardship. I need money to do medical operation due to my health condition. My two legs were seriously injured two years ago as a result moter accident. Before that time, I have been in good condition and taking care of family . Now, I am unable to do anything. In our environment, we only survive if we engage in to hard labour because, many of us are not educated to be opportuned with an employment. For this reason, I can't do any hard work. So to generate money in the absence of doing hard work in our place is a serious challenge. I have decided to empower my wife to do a business if we are bless to receive a cash gift from Givedirectly."

"The major hardship I am facing currently is, the lack of funding to take care of myself as a pregnant woman. In my first two months when my boyfriend was around me, things were not too hard as it is now. He used to do casual labour to support us but for now, I am the one doing whatever he was doing to get us food. The both of us have been separated from our both parents since we met. Even money for medication can't be available many times as such, I do not attend medical checkup regularly. It is my hope that, this will come to an end when I wisely use whatever Givedirectly will give me through a business."

"The house my family live in right now is not in good condition, i don't have money to pay my children school fees and my family fully depends on farming to survive. If I'm eligible to receive money from GiveDirectly, i want to build a new house with zinc roof, pay workers to work on my farm and pay my children school fees."

"My plan is to zinc my house I am building, my children schools fees will be paid if I do receive the transfer."
