Getting even daily food was a big challenge for me, meaning I couldn't even save a single cent towards any project. Secondly, I was fed up of cycling other people's motorcycle for a very meager commission that could not add any value to my life.I therefore opted for a second-hand motorcycle to help me gather some little income at the end of the day. This has greatly improved my living standards since I am able to meet my family's daily needs with a lot of ease. We no longer go hungry as was the case before. Thanks a lot to Give Directly for the support offered."
