"The biggest difference in my life now is I don't worry about money now, unlike before, every morning I was worried about how my family will eat because I was not having any particular source of income. I have started new business to enable me earn my own money. I used to work as daily hire on community members farm before getting money. I have also bought some building materials. When I see all of these new development in my life, I can't stop appreciating GiveDirectly."

I am about to build a new house for my family. We have been sleeping on the farm for years, because my house in town is very old and the thatch leaks when it rains. my daily life is fill with joy and happiness. I thank GiveDirectly for this unconditional cash transfer. My family can't stop praising God for GiveDirectly."

"I woke up in the morning, and I heard people shouting in the town that they have received their transfers. I ran for my phone in the charging both and I saw my transfer. I started to sing gospel song in my dialect. Life hasn't been easy for my family. My husband harvest palm to sell for survival. When I received my first transfer, I paid my children fees in school, because they were not in school. I have also bought zinc to improve my house because it is a grass thatch building. I appreciate GiveDirectly for this transfer that has started to immensely transform my family living condition from proverty to living a better life."

"Before receiving my transfer from GiveDirectly, I wasn't working and lacking trap to catch animals was our only means of survival. Hence, my husband and I decided to put most of the money in business. I bought few bags of rice to be sold at $50LD per cup.I also bought fish and sold it at $100LD for 2 pieces. Furthermore, I bought a lot of other goods such as pepper, tye soap, biscuit , vita etc... All these were sold on a table market right infront of my house in James Town."

"Sincerely speaking, GiveDirectly has touched our lives in a way that no other organization, NGO or government has done. The entire process has been very transparent from the day of census, distribution of phones and sim cards etc...; to the selection process of whose qualify to benefit from GiveDirectly's transfer.GiveDirectly has done quite well by providing us money to improve our livelihood. I personally don't see anything that has not been done right by this integrity organization. I'm so overwhelmed by this kind gesture and I will forever remain grateful."

"I've always wanted to build my own house and also become a bona fide member of an investment club in Logan Town. On the contrary, I couldn't fulfill any of my ambitions because of very low income. Meanwhile, during the early morning hours while I was still in my bedroom in Logan Town, I received my transfer from GiveDirectly. I was highly pleased knowing that with this transfer I could buy building materials (3 bundles of zinc, nails, cement etc..) to build a four(4) bedroom house. In addition, I could also settle all of my debts and pay my club money which I couldn't raise in time due to limited finances."

"My family and I currently live in a small house that contains 2 bedrooms and a single bathroom. When I received my first transfer, I bought 2 bundles of zinc for $16,800LD. This was because I wanted to replace the thatch on my old house with Zinc. However, when I received my second transfer, I bought additional 3 bundles of zinc to build a bigger house with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms creating more comfort and space for me and my family. The construction of a new four bedroom apartment in Duoh has become my new goal."

"I thank GiveDirectly for making me a great person in my community.GiveDiretly did well by making me to own money which I have never seen in my life.In my opinion, what Givedirectly has not done well is the cash out process. because going to Grand Bassa was very expensive and stressful in withdrawing the transfer."

"I have been living in this old house since the days of my youth. I am therefore going to buy zinc and other building materials to build a new house to live in."

"I will buy zinc and other building materials to improve my house my house. I am grateful that I received this money because it will help me to achieve a lot."
