"In my opinion, Givedirectly is one of the best Organizations that ever worked in our community. Givedirectly staffs do not accept Gift from communities and they do not segregate among people.Through Givedirectly cash support, Many recipients lives have been improved. Thanks to Givedirectly for the great support to my family and the entire communities. There is no system in GiveDirectly that needs improvement."
