"My life has improved ever since I received these transfers from Give directly. For example My business has improved because it was in the verge of collapsing.

"I have been planning to build a permanent house but I had not gotten enough resources to do so. When I received the transfer I felt so happy and relieved. The burden of raising the money had been taken off my shoulder and finally I was gpoing to see my dream accomplished."
