    Hi to my lenders. I must say that joining the Zidisha community has been a blessing. Business is not the same as it used to be in the past. I have seen a lot of tremendous improvement. Out of the business, I am able to continue my education as I speak. One thing that fascinates me most is the flexible terms of repayment. It's unbelievable this. You will never get anywhere as far as micro-lending is concerned, unless you are with Zidisha! Thanks very much.

    I have now settled payments of my younger sister's and my own educational fees. This has been possible because of the loan my lenders gave me to inject into my business. It has yielded profit for me to be able to pay for the fees. Now, business has improved tremendously and I will want to increase my installment amount to Gh 50.
    Thanks to my lenders.

    Thanks to the Zidisha community, especially my lenders, for helping me grow my business. Since I joined Zidisha, my business has grown tremendously over the past months. In fact, it has helped me and my family financially. I was able to pay for my younger sister's education, as well as my own. I am hoping to increase my payment schedule in the coming weeks in order to complete on time. Once again, thanks to the Zidisha team and my lenders. Hoping to do more business with you.
