Hello Lenders, Thanks so very much for your continued belief in my business and supporting it! Together we are building an innovative distribution model, allowing people living on less than $2 a day afford to own a solar lamp. The last loan i got helped me sale 50 solar lamps to women in lastmile communities. We are continuing to reach the furthest villages so that no one is left behind! Thanks once again for lending us the money to continue to transform lives!

Hi Ajani, good luck with everything :-) I was just wondering what minerals you sell, & where you get them from please? (Do the people doing the mining have all the legal permits, & are of adult age etc) & Wanted to check if the top people regarding the mining were local or overseas people please? Hope everything goes well for you :-) Just thought I should double check xXo Emma.

Hello Distinguished Lenders, On my dashboard board, it shows I have missed a repayment quite unfortunate. I made the said payment on the 10th November, 2019 which wasn't credited to my account as a result of error coming from my mobile service provider. I'm currently sorting the problem with them to get it rectified. I need you all to understand that, no payment has been missed, there is a dispense error. Secondly, I mentioned I will post the items purchase with loan here. The items include the following. Student Matress GHS200.00 Sandals GHS50.00 Cleaning items GHS100.00 Shoe (2) GHS200.00 Chop box GHS60.00 Trank GHS80.00 Food items GHS100.00 Blanket GHS30.00 Bed sheet(3) GHS90.00 Sleeping Cloth GHS30.00, etc Attached is the full list of items purchased I hope my network provider resolves the issue soon.

It has been a long journey but finally has come to an end. I give thanks to all members who participated in my loaning. Since I joined zidisha,it has brought tremendous change in my society and myself in general,because I have created employment to some of the youths from around. The last amount,I managed to open up a food kiosk for my wife, which is now her only income generating activity. After receiving the funds we purchased some utensils, and some furniture, food stuffs so that we could be able to run smoothly. It has been tough we have managed to secure a good customer base.

Please just be careful what shops you bring in David... Over consumption really does ruin a place, particularly when its regarding imported goods :-( Not just culturally, but environmentally, & often mentally too.... Please just be careful. I obviously don't know what's needed in the area, but here are some shop ideas if you're still deciding what to go for: -Selling Produce (particularly fruits & vegetables high in nutrience, which help with brain & gut health) - maybe a juicing station as part of it to entice people, down the line. -Selling locally made/culturally relevant goods (traditional items etc). -Grains/zero waste shop (consumables avoiding packaging). -Books/stationary - maybe secondhand, & with a cyber cafe if needed? -Outdoor supplies (like camping equipment etc). -Musical instruments (& repair). -Bicycle repair etc. -Basically any other business that is service-related, rather than based on capital :-) Not only does it provide jobs, but it means you don't have to constantly replace stock, & have comfort knowing its giving value... Not just run by making people want to purchase things they don't need :-p Also, having something service-related that is frequented regularly (like somewhere offering yoga etc), is likely to be better for bringing people to your restaurant, because #1 they'll be hungry, & #2 its somewhere many would likely come back to every week etc. If you REALLY want to go above & beyond, developing something like a Community Centre/learning-facility may be wonderful (& useful for bringing people to the restaurant), but again, I have no idea what's needed where you are? :-) Anyway I'm waffling... I just wanted to share those few things :-) Good luck with your future endeavours David. Be good to know what businesses you end up bringing into your space... All the best, Emma.
