"I hope to complete the building of my house in the year to come and continue to pay my children school fees"

"I have bought mattress because that was my wish and desire, I was sleeping on the floor. The other amount was spent on musical set because I am a lover of music it brings me a lot of happiness whenever I listen."

"Before I got the money I didn't have hope of reroofing the house, but when I receive it I felt like my dream has come to pass. The difference is I will experience a new roof going forward."

"No NGO has ever come in this town to give out money which is $150, 000 Liberian Dollars. I believe this will seriously impact the town positively. For me, I wish that GiveDirectly will continue to provide assistance to people not only in this town but other communities."

"I have bought building materials to start building my house, because the house I am living in is owned by the family. This becomes embarrassing most times because there is no freedom."

"My most recent transfer was spent on buying of assorted building materials for my house construction and paying of my children's tuition ."

"My most recent transfer was spent on buying of assorted building materials for my building construction project."

"My first, second and third money was used for a new building construction materials like zince three bundles, Zince nails three packs with part of the transfer and the balance money was used for my three children school fees and put part into a village saving Club.My life is now better than before because. No more worry about family support."

"The transfers from GiveDirectly allowed me to buy 2 male cows and 4 goats(2 kids and 2 fully grown). It found us at a time when both myself and my father had been ailing and part of the funds went towards our medical expenses. With the bulk of the balance, I built a 2 bedroom house, with an attached verandah. My wife, whom I had married whilst she had a daughter in Garde 5 had left, and with my income as a boda boda rider ferrying people and making between KES. 200 and KES. 400 a day, the most I could cater for was school fees for our two other kids, which constitutes KES. 150 for each, per month at Mikamini School. I am currently in the process to bring my wife back home and these funds will and have continued to play a big role in allowing me to care for myself and my kids as best as I can, while still focusing on bringing their mom home. GiveDirectly has been a blessing to me in more ways than I can mention."
