I am incredibly grateful for the NGO LIVE-ADDIS, as its name truly reflects the transformation it has brought into my life. This organization has allowed me to rediscover myself and live life as a completely new person. Through their support and guidance, I have been able to overcome challenges, develop new skills, and embrace a positive mindset. As a result of the changes I've experienced, I have become a role model for my daughter. She has witnessed my journey of self-improvement and has been inspired to strive for her own dreams and aspirations. The positive influence of LIVE-ADDIS has not only touched my life but has also touched the life of my loved ones. For that I am truly grateful to LIVE-ADDIS and its dedicated team for their unwavering commitment to empowering individuals and creating opportunities for personal development.
