Givedirectly is one of the best Organizations in Liberia for now. Givedirectly really came to empower everyone financially and to be removed people from extreme poverty.

"When the money is withdrawn I want to build a house because my family size is very large. This structure that we are living in can't contain everyone of us. I have never had the opportunity to go to school that's why I want to do everything possible to send my children to school."

"Hopefully next year, I want to see myself into a house of my own, this is a dream come true. I'm also planning having an established business, it's often said "business pays a lot" and I agree with this. That's why I will invest into it and have sustainable income."

"The difference it has brought to me is that I am now capable of building a house because I have the money for said purpose. Before the transfer I couldn't afford to build a house and regularly support my children into school."

"I have a 1 acre piece of land that I intend to fence and practice farming on it. I specifically want to plant maize. With the current economy, maize has become so scarce. I can use the maize to pay school fees for my 2 children. I will save the money I would have used to buy maize and use it on constructive things. I can also sell the maize."

"My child just started high school and I paid $120 for the first term. I also have two more children in high school of which I had not paid their school fees. The debt had accumulated to $180 and I paid it. I work as a brick mason, getting a daily wage of $30 a week. The money is used to buy food for my family. For a long time paying school fees for my children has been a struggle. A lot of time the children have been sent home which became embarrassing to them and they once opted to stop school. It broke my heart but promised then I will try my best to find the money."

"I save money so that when my child starts school, she can go to a good school. He is three years old. I would also love to expand my current house to a two-roomed house."

"I spent $200 on buying chairs that I plan to start renting whenever the villagers have ceremonies or meetings. I also bought a big sauce pan that I would also rent out. I retired back in 2021 and since then I have not received my pension money. It has been difficult to survive without a salary since I was used to it. My husband has been helping out and I am thankful. Receiving this money has enabled open a business that will generate an income for me."
