"The biggest difference in my daily life is that Give Directly has revamped my hope of living in a better place. We had been thinking about moving and building at a place that is more secure but due to lack of money, we couldn't achieve this but when we received support from Give Directly, we spent on building materials and we are now set to move and build before the year ends."
