I would like to give great thanks to my lenders for making my plans realizable through this micro-lending plan. I have been able to use the past loan facilities to foot my internet connection and power bills, which support my online freelancing venture. I plan to use the net loan facility to get a wireless Mi-Fi connection equipment for my internet connection so as to enable the people that we work with to share the work space and connection without the need of everyone having their own modem. I hope that as the facility increases I will be able to use it to procure more equipment and software to facilitate my online work. Thanks a lot Zidisha and all the lenders that have made this possible for me.

Hi Lenders, today with the loan you advanced to me, I bought a D-Link 24 port network switch. I plan to mount the switch in the course of the week. My internet service provider is ready to upgrade my data plan but since I had already paid for this month's plan, they require that my subscription expires before they can upgrade my plan. Thank you all. comment image

good evening sir, thank you for helping me with capital and trust in me, the money I gave you, I bought my business equipment, a press machine to install buttons and paper material, paper is the main ingredient in my business, I I usually buy kiloan paper to make it cheaper in production costs, to pursue competitiveness I chose kiloan paper, it does not affect the quality of paper, for small businesses like me, kiloan paper is very helpful, because it can reduce production costs by around 20%. now the price of new paper is Rp. 4,300 / pcs / plano, and the price of kiloan paper is Rp. 9,000 / kg. once production I can use 100kg of paper. that"s a story about a business that I have engaged in. In the future, I will tell you more. thank you for trusting me. this is the production of today. comment image

Salty egg is traditional food from my home land, it has unique tastes that can not be made by other. I offered the egg only to buyer in the same town, because to send the package with safe is challenging. Now i confident to offer it in my online shop, and to send it to some towns around (Jabodetabek), since i experienced the safer trick of the packaging. I hope Zidisha lenders can support my shop, my online job. I want to support our family's financial without leaving my kids to stay at the offline shop or to work for other (as employee). comment image

Thanks very much ZIDISHA team and my good caring ZIDISHA lenders for supporting me financially. Disbursement of this loan to me will definitely help me to pay the remaining school fees balance for the two children in school in the course of the last term of this year at a cost of KES 2100, and buying some stationery items for the children required by school administration at a cost of KES 350.This will help me to settle remaining balance and income got will be used to buy food, clothes, paying family and work expenses, catering for hospital bills. It will also increase my monthly savings and eventually improve living standards of the family members. Thanks so much for the financial aids.

I was able to visit the land and see the projects progress for those who already completed payment,I have attached photos so you have in mind what the greenhouse project is all about. The empty space is where my greenhouse and others will go, currently they have planted tomatoes and after the season is over probably capsicum.

I want to thank all my Zidisha lenders for funding the loan I have just completed. The loan helped me increase my production of pastries and hence increasing my profits. This helped me venture into a new area where I opened my kiosk. Thanks to you I now have a stable business and opportunities are opening. I hope with time I can also become a lender in Zidisha and help others too.
