About Me

Vida Serwaa is my name, a native of Tanoso in Techiman-South Constituency. I was raised by my grandmother Madam Ama Nnipa in this village and educated till I completed basic primary school by which I obtained B. E. C. E certificate. I passed in distinction but could'nt futher to the next secondary level because there were no parents alive to futher my education, so I quited.
At the age 14 yrs, I join myself to my uncle Thomas to grow tomatoes so as to earn money for simstres (dressmaking) training. After the season, the plants were fruitful by the grace and mercies of Jehovah Elohim.I gain some money from my uncle for the dressmaking training.
I decided not to aquire a dressmaking training in Tanoso rural area but rather migrate to the Techiman, the urban municipal town for dressmaking training.
For 3 yrs aquisition of training and skills at Techiman, I pass through all kings of hardship but I never gave-up because I had no relative at Techiman, therefore, I press stedfastly till I completed succeessfully.
Now, for almost 10 good yrs, I had my own dressmaking centre at Techiman-Ahenfi II and had been a trainer to new trainee's. I have beloved 5 yrs daughter Benedicta Dufie, its my prayer she don't suffer as I did, but working effortfully for her higher education and high professionalism of my business.

My Business

I make dresses of cloths, weave cloths and tailoring of cloths. It has being my choice of career over 13 yrs now. Cloths and dresses are high demanded item on market. It is useful to children, adults, old age and to the dead. Cloths are fiber, textile material and a flexible material consisting of natural and artificial fiber worn on the body. It is my vision to extend and advance my sevices. I am working effortfully to improve the productivity and services with the new methods and technologies of this time. Notwithstanding, in any fruitful busines, there must be addition to modern interventions in order to yield a successful production.

Loan Proposal

Graciously, I am indeed in need of many equipments and materials such as automatic/ electric machineries to enhance good production of my clothing and sewing industry. From my preference scale, an electric sewing machine will help improve and speed the sewing processing graciously. I believe this will help me sew as many cloths per day than this my current activities whereby I sew with manual sewing machine. This electric sewing machine will help to speed my work, the clients will then receive their items on time.
The electric sewing machine may cost not less than USD 250.
There is a saying that, 'time is money' , as the work process is speeding, clients will have the assurance of getting their items on time and by so doing, calls for more businesses. This will then increase the income level rate of the business.

    Happy New Year to Zidisha lenders, I am Vida Serwaa writing from Techiman -Ghana. I am very grateful to Zidisha lenders for granting me this loan, as I started with this organization, I taught this will be fraud, though I started with a low amount, I was advised by my VM that all that this organisation lenders need is trust, and since I believe in myself to be a trustworthy person I never gave up.
    Now I can boast of what I thought to be fraud had provided me a new electric sewing machine for my sewing industry.
    To my lenders, God bless you all and to this point, as you are expecting my repayment amount higher, you forgive me for the reduced repayment amount. Is not by bad intention, but is because I wanted to make good use of the electric machine, I need to trap electricity power to my shop and divert all changes and setups manually to an electric shop. This have really cost me a lot than expected thus why I reduce my repayment amount in order to keep me on-time score high and eligible to prove trustworthy to my lenders.
    Now I am making a finishing to my shop renovation in order to able use the electric sewing machine for higher yield. I am hoping to increase the repayment amount due.
    Thank you lenders.

    A new day is given, the day has own will and responsibility.
    In any religion in this, there is a famous word preached to the believers that they should LOVE. Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.

    You see oo, in any deity that is worshipped, he command his believers to love one another, not because others love you in return, No. But because its a command to do to one another who does not even love and care about you, you ought to do to them.

    To conclude my inspiration this day, we friends in this Zidisha organization, we all ought to do the will of he who sent us, by loving one another.
    Members of Zidisha across the globe ought to be trustworthy and do just to their lenders as God had made thee able, and vice versa to lenders.

    Thank you, and enjoy the best of the day.

    Kind regards,
    Vida Serwaa.
    Techiman.

    My first previous MLF loan is fully repaid on-timely. I hope to maintain a good record as I did to the first with all my loan repayment and transactions.
    In fact, a good name is better than riches.

    Kind regards

    For me, Zidisha is truly proving worthiness. I have never experienced such an online lending and repayment transaction before. I earlier doubted that HOW COULD IT BE, but Zidisha is proving worthiness that, with the help of their management and lenders, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.

    I have a lot of testimonies to share to others about Zidisha and the abilities of their lenders, after when the propose credit limit is received, but right now I am repaying the Membership Fund Loan as my first repayment to Zidisha.

    Even now that I am at the starting point, I am testifying and inviting TRUSTWORTHY persons into Zidisha.

    I am hoping best for Zidisha and its lenders, especially the Zinc Team at San Francisco in the United State and the best for us all (its members including Volunteer Mentors.)

    Thank you.

    From Vida Serwaa at Techiman, Ghana.
