"Receiving this money will enable me expand my business. I have been selling petrol to motor bike operators in our local market place and I will be able to improve the business by bringing more litres of fuel because sometimes I always run out of fuel due to short supply because I had limited capital. Increasing the stock will increase my profits so that I be able to buy even a pump in future and my dream of owning a mini petrol station will become a reality. "

I really thank Give Directly for changing my life."
