About Me

Nicholas Saddari is my name. I am a product of the University of Cape Coast, cape coast Ghana where I studied bachelor of education (BEd) Science from 2008-2012. I am the author of Man Sada Series Science books for Junior High Schools in Ghana. I started writing in 2011 while in school. I am also teacher my profession and I teach at Chiraa Senior High School, Ghana where I also earn my salary. I have been teaching since 2016. I am currently pursuing MSc Sustainable Energy Management from the University of Energy and Natural Resources, Fiapre Ghana where I will graduate this year. I am also an assembly member for sunyani municipal assembly for the past two and half years and still serving till 2019 where another elections will be held.

My Business

Man Sada Series is a publication which is into science books. this is a Junior High School integrated science books which is used as a supplementary text books. they are sold directly to schools and others to book shops for individual to also purchased. I also earn income from my teaching through the salary I receive. the salary is sometimes used to support the book business when the need arises.

Loan Proposal

about 60% of the loan amount will be used to purchase papers for printing. 10% aand 15% will also be used for printing cost, binding and laminating cost. the other 15% will also be used for collating and other miscellaneous expenses during the printing. this amount will help increase my books stock which in turn will increase my profit. I hope this loan will meet my lenders consideration within the shortest time now that students are still in school so that I can meet the time. I also hope huge amount will be given in future for me to purchase my own machines and this will help me employ more people to help reduce unemployment.

    Does zidisha really reads our messages?
    Our concerns are not addressed when ever we post a complaints here.
    I have not received my loan since the 6 th I was told my loan has been disbursed and I don't know what zidisha is doing about it. Moreover, I have started repayment of this loan I am yet to receive for the past 3 weeks.
    I suggest, zidisha should confirm payment before we will be asked to make payment for our loans.
    I hope this message will be read and my problem will be addressed. I know zidisha will ask me to use the Help tool which I has done severely.
    Please it's becoming more frustrating

    1. this has become necessary because I have not received my loan up to date. I have made several complaints but still to no avail. please zidisha should make sure that the money is credited into my account.
    2. zidisha should make sure monies are credited into our accounts before asking us to make payments for that loan. it is unfair to pay for loan Not received.

    good morning lenders and zidisha team. it is has been more than a week now since I was told that my loan has been disbursed but has not hit my account yet. notwithstanding, zidisha has given me a reminder to make payment of loan that I have not received. zidisha should hold unto the loan repayment before I receive my loan to start my business so that I can pay from the proceeds.

    Part of the money will be use to purchase 60g bond papers for my printing and the remaining will also be use to finance my PhD education. I will also use this medium to thank my lenders for lending me this amount to expand my business and also continue my education

      Thank you. But my loan which I am told has been disbursed has not hit my accounts yet but I am expected to make my first payment of the loan on Saturday which I have not received. Meaning I'll be paying for a loan I have not received. And if I don't pay on the said date,my on time payment will be reduced. I think zidisha should make sure that payment has hit the account before any payment will be made.

    the amount was used to purchase 29 bond of 60g of papers for the printing. this has helped increased the profit margin by about 7 - 8% which was used to reimburse into the business. i have also been able to employ one additional person into the business. i have also completed my master's degree as an achievement in my life. in addition, i have also gain admission to do my Ph.D.
