Thank you Zidisha team and the financial supporters for covering my business needs , you acted with quick response speed and and you gave me a big boost to my business for such uplifting . I purchased beauty salon wings and weaves and serviced machines and renovated the saloon uplifting the clients satisfaction. All i spent was $68 all together , this has changed my business to addition customers with a collection that have pushed my business to stand still for the pick period coming from November to December This enabled me to pay for school fees that was $20 and still hope to clear my Balances as the schooling is proceeding. i appreciate zidisha and in coming projects hope u will support me to keep my saloon moving. Best regards

From the bottom of my heart, I am grateful for the money you gave me in my Livestock value chain business through the fattening of livestock, which is goats, it has changed the economic situation I had because I was able to buy goats and successfully sell them and support various family needs that were needed. My income has increased from Tanzania Shillings 300,000/ = up to Tanzania Shillings 520,000/= and led to increasing livestock from 3 goats to 5 goats. The family enjoys this business because it has been one of the places that help in various needs of the family such as food and clothes. The neighbors enjoy this business because they have been getting meat at a low price and getting good food. At the moment I am asking for the amount of Tanzania Shillings 8,000,000/= equivalent to USD 3200. This loan will help me to buy a farm and five Cattle where I will keep livestock and take good care of it and my community will be following meat in that area and get education in animal husbandry for fattening so that they can rid themselves of poverty and be able to serve their families. To take care of myself and help the community around me.comment image

First of all, I would like thank you for your generosity to sponsor my farming project. From the funds I will be buying quality seeds, quality fertilizers and other important equipments used in farming. These resources will help me to expand the current level of crop farming so that I can produce more kales, cabbages and beans for my community market ','. In the same way, you will be supporting me to hire a local labor, this will bring employment to our region. Your benevolence shall live a legacy through the improvement of my income and welfare of my community. Being able to farm better and get higher yields, I am able to reinvest in my farm to feed my family and the community. Without your generosity and confidence in the project, this project wouldn’t have been possible. It has been such a great honor having you as a friend who assisted me in enhancing my farming among other things in this society.

Hello friends, In our last project, we bought 150kg fertilizer for our vegetable farm. We applied this on the cabbage and onion crop and the results as expected were great. Two weeks ago we harvested both the cabbages and the onions. We have since sold the cabbages and we have stored the onions while we wait (and pray) for the prices to get better.
