About Me

I am an optician, married with 3 children. I was born in Dakar and I live in the family house. I studied medicine at the University of Dakar. My business is at unité 8 des Parcelles Assainies in Dakar.

My Business

Optician services and sales of eyeglasses. I started the business after receiving financing from MICROSOL. Each day, I average 10 customers and sell at least two pairs of eyeglasses. The glasses generate a profit of at least 7000 FCFA per pair. I pay each month a rent of 60000 FCFA and I work with two persons to whom I pay a salary of 150000 FCFA for the two. The other monthly expenses are on average 100000 FCFA.

Loan Proposal

Optician and seller of glasses that I was able to strengthen with the first loan Zidisha gave me.This loan will be used again for my optical enterprise and I plan to use the loan for the purchase of glasses and optical accessories. This activity is very profitable, so I did not have a problem paying back the Zidisha loan. I paid fully before the deadline of my first loan.

    Hello everyone. The loans received from Zidisha allowed me to strengthen my business but the amounts offered to me are really below my needs. Zidisha is a great idea but suffers from persons aware of the challenges of global economic conditions and management problems.

    Greetings to the family! The loan which was awarded to me has started to pay off. I completed my first reimbursement but am surprised not to see the transaction of the online table. Would it be possible to verify with it with the appropriate services? Thank you, see you soon.

    Dear lenders,

    This applicant's loan application had originally been cancelled because we discovered that the microfinance institution which had provided a reference in support of the application was not reliable. The applicant has now reapplied using a different reference and credit history which we were able to confirm independently.

    Should you have any questions regarding this application, please do not hesitate to contact me at [email protected].

    Regards,

    Julia Kurnia
    Director, Zidisha Inc.

    Dear lenders,

    We have discovered that the lending institution official who had confirmed this applicant's reported credit history was complicit in an attempt to deceive Zidisha by allowing computer-literate individuals to impersonate two applicants who turned out not to have written their own loan applications. We are therefore closing the accounts of the other applicants who had been referred by this official, and returning funds that had been bid to lenders.

    Should you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact me directly.

    Regards,

    Julia Kurnia
    Director, Zidisha Inc.

      Hälsa Julia!

      Thanks for the heads-up on the lending institution and their deceptive practices. OMG*SA! I had no idea! Is there any way Herr Doktor could get approved by another lending institution? I gladly backfill loans to healthcare clinics, and would hate to see him lose his loan. The world needs quality healthcare. Very truly yours, Walsung1of9

      Hello,
      Truly I do not get online often because I lack time... The business is doing rather good considering the difficult economic context. But we are getting by. Thank you all and talk to you soon.
