About Me

I am a carpenter by profession. For the last 18 years, I have been making home made furniture for my clients and my client base is increasing each day. I make cupboards, tables, chairs, sideboards, cabinets, beds, doors and wardrobes. My professional designed/work has earned me a good reputation among my high and low end customers.

I do wish to stock more materials to meet the high demand of my customers. With Zidisha loan, I shall purchase
1. Wood
2. Boards
3. Fabrics and foam sheets
4. Vanishes and Nails

After selling my products, I shall make a good profit which shall enable me to
1. Repay my zidisha loan
2. Pay school fees for my children
3. Take care of my family
4.Expand my business to 60% in year one.

    Hello Lenders,
    I wish to take this opportunity to thank you so much for lending me a loan. Just as I informed about my sickness, I have been down for six months. I am now recovering well and I promise to repay my loan soonest possible. I request you to grant me more time so that I fulfill the promise. Thank you so much for your good cooperation.
