    I have been overwhelmed by the heavy school fee requirements for 4 children in secondary school. The strike of Covid 19 made me lose my job with MOMENTUM TRUST< a Danish NGO.
    Now am struggling with Freelancing and Electronics repair jobs to gain my lost financial stability and to pay back my loan.

    Hi to my supporters. Just requesting for a reduced loan repayment value. I have not been in a good financial position despite my effort to repay and borrow again. I hope this will get over and come back to normal transaction.
    Thanks for understanding.

    Philip.

      Philip, just a quick point of clarification. It's good to let your lenders know here what has caused payment delays, but please be aware that you are reaching only your lenders here, not the Zidisha Team (a/k/a the Staff).

      For future reference, anytime you may need help, please keep the following in mind:

      Lenders cannot help you with anything technical or administrative.
      Therefore, this isn't the correct place to try to reach the Staff: www.zidisha.org/team

      For more information, please read
      here: www.zidisha.org/loan/buying... [comment-660388]
      and here: www.zidisha.org/loan/busine... [comment-660503]

      Please also don't forget about the FAQs:

      Thanks, and best wishes.

    Today I advised Philip to change his weekly payments to a size he can comfortably afford weekly so that he don't gets late with the payments.

    Hello, I have delayed because of the school burden I have just experienced in January 2019. My daughter was to join form one and her brother is in form two. I request to adjust my monthly installments down to help me reduce the load. Thanks.

    Hello,
    Thanks to Zidisha team for help and support.
    I encountered difficulties in repaying my loan due to delay in my salaries and farm produce sales. I made all effort to complete school fee for my children and now I have time to start repaying my loan. Sales of Chia seeds from my farm will help me to be stable.
    Thanks for the much assistance and I will continue with Zidisha.

    Hello,
    Morning. It is a good day for me again today. Am doing my activities happily as in the past.
    Thanks a lot for all the support I have been receiving. As at the picture attached you can see computer-desktop. It is my great achievement to have it in my business and it has helped me much. I achieved the desktop through the loans I receive.
    I also continue with growing chia plants for seeds. At present am harvesting.
    My main aim is to meet the school fee for my children in secondary school.
    Thanks.
    Philip
