"RE:I am a farmer and living as a farmer in this country is not an easy thing. To even get money to feed is an issue, my husband is a paramount chief which is a government job, he hardly get salary which make our situation even worst. My house is not in a good condition but there's nothing I would have done because i we did not have the financial strength for renovation or rebuilding. Today I can sleep with smile on my face because of this help givedirectly is giving my household. I am will go Monrovia and purchase cement to renovate my house and start a little business in other to continue helping me even after givedirectly transfer finish."

"IN my own opinion GiveDirectly has done great things for me and my family. GiveDirectly coming into my life it was so good for me because I don't have anyone to help me. I'm so happy about this programs because my children was not in school. Can you imagine that a farmer like me i was not able to build a new house but now I'm building a house for my children. More special house with zinc and cement,while my children are all going to school. They are all feeling happy amount their friends on campus because i bought them some schools material."
