    The last loan I collected was used judiciously and it was because of shortage of rainfall that I could not continue my plantation late last year, but all glory to Almighty God I was able to get back my gains on double folds, all thanks to Zidishs.

    I experienced some difficulties on weather conditions,that is the reason why I paid my loan very late.
    Thank God that rainfall has started this late September,I am planning on cultivating cassava plantation.
    I am still planting my vegetables hoping to get best harvest before the winter season commence.

    The global situation is affecting my farming in sense that opening of religious and educational institutions are put on hold,my expectations are not met adequately.
    All thanks to God I was able to make some sales in just three days,that is the reason my loan is delayed.
    I have planned of moving my harvest to other markets that are not too far from my area,it will help me to make more sales than the former times.
    I say a big thank you to the entire management for their support and endurance.
    God bless you all more abundantly.

    I thank the entire management of Zidisha,for using their resources to alleviate people from hunger,poverty, unemployment etc.

    Hi Fatile,
    Glad to hear you've been doing ok with all the cotonavirus happenings :-) Best of luck with your new farm.

    I was just wondering... I noticed the loan title was previously "My Oil Well Business", but there is no mention of this in your description? Would you mind sharing what this was about please, if that's ok?

    Again, all the best with everything :-)
    Warmest regards, Emma.

    Thanks and God bless.
