    The change makers (lenders) couple with the Zidisha community supported me to acquire the "Kente " thread that were organized and used in producing 6 pieces of the kente material cloth.
    Today I have about 2 more left in stock to be sold to cover other expenses. It was part that I also used in fully repaying my loan. I think I have inch further progressively in my business career.
    I want to say God bless you all.
