""On October 21, 2022 I.was on my way to the hand pump to fetch water. Right within that moment, my friends and other neighbours started jubilating because according to them they have received money from GiveDirectly. I quickly ran back for my phone and look my money was there in my phone. I joined the jubilant community members, singing praises to GiveDirectly. I was so happy and excited because this kind of thing has never happened to me before. My husband and I are farmers and our children are schooling in Monrovia. Every time they are calling for money. This was really a cause of worry for me. The excitement of receiving this money made me not to.think about anything immediately. It was in the night that my husband and I discussed and decided on what to do with this first transfer"."

""I was here in town when GiveDirectly money came to my phone. Before my message other people in this town were rejoicing because of the GiveDirectly money. While sweeping my message came, I called my daughter to check because I can't read or write. When my daughter told me that it was my GiveDirectly money, I started dancing and praising God. I am happy because as a widow and an old woman, I can't do any hard work now. The first thing that came to my mind was to plaster my house and send money to my daughter in Monrovia for school."

"The biggest difference in my life is that, this money is helping me to improve my agricultural work and I am no longer working harder like I used to work before. Now I am able to pay people to brush my farm."

""With the financial constraints I was faced with in raising money for my Sister and I school fees, the moment I received my transfer, I immediately cashed it out took the amount needed to cover our first semester fees and paid it to the school. Additionally the remaining money was used to buy our school materials such as books, back bags, shoes and uniforms. We are so happy to be in school today with the help of GiveDirectly financial assistance.""

"In my opinion, Givedirectly did well in enrolling only the qualified households in the program. Through this, it reduced the complaints of bias since the people who deserved the aid were enrolled. All the processes were conducted well and in a fair manner and there is nothing I feel they should improve."

"I was able to Purchase two bundles of zinc and others house materials for the construction of my house and pay my children school fees , get them some school materials."

We are expecting a baby for three months to come. That income changes depending on how much work he got in a month. As an expectant woman, I need to feed well every day but that is not the case. Two days ago, I had a cup of porridge and spent the whole day without food. I feel dizziness nowadays due to a lack of enough blood. This is caused by a lack of food. This is the challenge I am facing ."

"I have been living a life full of happiness till four years ago when I developed hypertension problems. The problem made me lose consciousness and fall on a burning fire and had bad burnings on my right knee. Since then up to now, I can not walk for long distances alone.
