Hello my supporters. This is the current picture of the cow we purchased in our last project. She is supposed to deliver in December. I am still very grateful for the support you gave us.

Words cannot express how grateful I am for your love and support you showed on my previous project, Thank you Also for being my rock and fortress am life is changing and my business is growing little by little

I feel so privileged to be part of Zidisha Community and thank my supporters for this far. As an Organization we are happy that finally our programs are going to stabilize and it will be possible to achieve our goals in the community. The first project of beans farming is going on well.

The loan I have just completed repaying, have made a big positive difference in my business, my family and community at large. The profit I got anables me to take care of my family and pay school fees for my children. I really appreciate.

I was able to receive the money, thank you so much I can now irrigate my farm.

Greetings to our funders. Thank you very much for the support that has helped our school start a dairy farming project through the purchase of one female cow in our last project. We plan to have at least three female cows.
We now want to purchase the second female cow at an estimated cost of kes 70,000.
The loan will be repaid with money from our school bakery and maize farming projects since the milk production will not be immediate.

I will use the funds for medical treatment. There aren’t many people who can love and care for me the way you do. You are so special to me. Thank you for everything!

I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude for the financial support provided for my irrigation project. Thanks to your funding, I have successfully completed the project, which has significantly transformed my agricultural practices.
The installation of the irrigation system has not only enhanced my farm's productivity but also created employment opportunities for local community members. I have employed an individual to manage and maintain the irrigation infrastructure, contributing to local economic development.

Your support has been instrumental in making this project a success, and I am deeply appreciative of your trust and investment in my vision.
Thank you once again for your invaluable assistance.

I don’t know what I would have done without you. I would have been so lost. I can’t thank you enough for sticking by my side through helping me with the funds. I will start the process of my 3 stretches once the disbursement takes place. Thank you once again for your support

Let me take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude for considering my project, I am so grateful for your kindness and willingness to lend a hand. I have received the funds. The average cost of a new wheelchair is between $500 and $1,500, but it really depends upon what kind of wheelchair you're shopping for so like the one I will purchase here in Zambia the funds will be able to do. You've made a huge difference impact on my life. Thank you so much. Please keep supporting me even on my coming projects!!

Thanks to members who funded my project, I will now be able to pay school fees for my siblings. this will help ensure they remain in school.

Am applying for this funds to drill the borewell at the farming site and the gardening tools to be helping me in cultivating the land. For 2023 to 2024, rain has been a great challenge hence most crop dried up due inadequate rain. Hence the borewell will benefit me a lot by providing adequate water to the crops and as for the gardening tools, will benefit me by cultivating the land by creating more necessary beds for vegetable crops as demand in increasing from my customers whom I supply these vegetables. Currently my turn over profits is at ZMW 20,000 and once I drill a borewell, I will increase the production of vegetables to meet the demand from the customers. Thank you so much my lenders for supporting me.

Hi my Dear Lenders and Backers. I have since received the full amount in my account.
I have already started acquisition of the youths training tools and equipments. With time I will be able to share with you a photo of our progress.
Am really humbled and happy for your extreme support. Many blessings to you all.

Hi Zidisha support team, I want to appreciate your support. My previous project funds for my Mwajjemba Chickens Project helped a huge step. The season has been too rainy, cold and unavailable for the survival of my chickens. However, through the funds I received I managed to do the necessary renovations, got medications and source of warmth for the birds. The birds are okay and preparing to start laying eggs now.

I wish to express my deepest gratitude for the support in funding my cereal project. The loan I received made a significant difference in my business and personal life. I was able to expand my cereal stock, meet the growing demand and expand my customer base.
I am now seeking your support again for my next venture, which aims to build on the success of the cereal project. I plan to expand the project to other cereals, leveraging the knowledge and experience gained. This new product will allow me to cater for the growing demand giving customers options. With your continued support, I am confident that this project will grow and I will also be back here to offer the same support I have received through ZIDISHA

My Dear Lenders. Am really amazed by your support towards this project of enabling me to pass my technical skills to young youths in my community.
I will purchase training tools such as Screw driver sets, Spanners, Drilling tools, PPR pipe Welding machines, Assorted Pliers, Multimeters, Pipe wrenches, Cable strippers, Crimping tools and Soldering guns.
Am planning of training first ten youths before the year ends. In three months a student should be able to carry out minor repairs like lamp and switches replacement and earn something. In 6ix to seven months I will be giving them full installation jobs for them to earn a living.
This project is basically a mission for me giving back to the community. Thank you very much my dear Lenders and Backers.

I apologize for my late response because I have been busy lately because of the same project. I am glad to say so far we have atleast manage to buy 50 desks. The next move is to find a bigger plot so that the classes be extended, so far we do have over 100 people who would want to enroll. I will be updating you Rune. Best regards to you as well

This is to present my sincere gratitude to the Zidisha family, especially those who funded my project of purchasing tree seedlings.

The first phase of planting grevillea seedlings is done and I look forward raising additional funds for more seedlings for my farm here in Bondo.
This project will not only make an economic difference to my life but also provide positive environmental impact to future generations. My ambition is to develop a 1000 tree forest on my land.

I am so delighted to receive a message that my project which was posted the other day has been fully funded. As I had explained earlier on the funds on this project is to facilitate my son's tuition fees including clearing last term's arrears upon topping up with what I have. This will help me avoid my son being send home by the school authorities from time to time at the same time it will give me ample time and peace of mind to look for a way to get other sources of money, It may be little but the crucial part of it is now done. I am really so much grateful and even lack words to express my gratitude to everybody who made this project successful. I particularly thank Mr. Stephen who fully funded this project and tell him that he is blessed beyond borders and may God give you more since you are so much philanthropic and for being with a big heart to even assist those whom you even don't know! I promise to utilize the same as promised and pay back in time sir, thank you so much and be blessed more!
I also do not forget the admins in this platform and the all of Zidisha fraternity for your effort to connect people especially with common interest through this platform and would like to say ' asanteni sana, mungu azidishe kunufaisha nyinyi kila wakati'. Thanks all and may God bless you!

Yours sincerely

My tomato business is going well so far, I have a few customers but because it's still something new in the market, it's not easy to convince people who actually believe in their own conclusion. One-day I woke up and I was a diabetic patient, you know how doctors give a list of dos and cons, I tried blended tomatoes but my food still didn't taste well, then an idea popped up and after my first trial, I never stopped and mostly made it for my own use, but I realized it can't benefit everyone especially those with medical conditions who need to eat simple meals. My only challenge is getting the right type of tomatoes, but I'm working on the solution which I believe I'll soon achieve it through your help, thanks again for your help. Zidisha has given me a reason to keep dreaming and working towards any impossible projects I have in mind, you are truly your brothers keeper. Each and everyone of you have made my dream come true. Thank you

Hello Zidisha family,

Having just made my first pay it backwards payment, I look forward to increased limits for bigger projects.

Am applying for this loan to buy the following irrigation systems at my farm;

5. Sub-irrigation
The irrigation systems will benefit me by increasing cabbage production due to high demand, am expecting to increase my production of cabbages from 1500 heads of cabbages to 3000 heads of cabbages which will be able to give me K 30,000.00 as profit increase. I really thank you so much my backers for your support, am so grateful and your support for me will benefit me a lot and produce a yield of crops for sale.
