About Me

My name is KINGFORD KASONDE KESHENI . Am the father of 4 and aged 46 years old.Being the entrepreneur in Kitwe. I do business in selling phones,laptops,electrical items and many more.

From the time I graduated from High Education in 1998 at Kitwe Boys High School on the Copperbelt Province Of Zambia,have been doing a good number of different kinds of businesses just to keep myself moving in life.
In terms of education, have went up to Secondary Level ,which is Grade 12 and I always look forward to upgrade my education levels once have enough funds.

My Business

My source of income normally comes from the business that I do to keep me running as a family man.So in making it easier for me,I decided to join Zidisha,so that it can help me to easy my financial needs burden as the way of expanding my businesses to higher levels.

Loan Proposal

Truly Zidisha means "Grow & Expand"I have been spearheading a group of Zidisha Community in my Compound,which is combined with elderly and young people who are so eager to work as community in accessing Zidisha loans and be able to repayment on time to our capable lenders.
In achieving this,we have been working hand in hand by meeting at the same place in order for us to be sharing business ideas for us to move forward and achieve our dreams in business.
I intend to use part of this Zidisha loan money to pay for the office rentals as well as buying some tins of paint,so that our Zidisha Community Office can be attractive.
Also,I will be using some of the money to buy internet bundles for us to access the Zidisha.org page in order for us to check our balances,creating of new accounts for the new comers and other things on the site.
Definitely,I will be able to repay this loan on time as I have done with my two previous ones. Thanks to Zidisha for allowing to be here and be part of the Zidisha family.
I promise to work with any one in my community amicably in accessing the Zidisha with the good motive at any time as we need to grow and expand in all areas of business,so that we keep on repaying on time to our very capable lenders all over the world.

    How long does it take for Zidisha to disburse the funds if one goes for EXPEDITE,because my friend did that last week on Thursday,nothing is coming up to now.

    He is so desperate for the funds,he has urgent use for it.
    Kind regards,
    Kingford.

    Word of encouragement:

    Our mothers used to cook beans, but before they cooked the beans, they would pick the bad and useless beans and throw them at the backyard, and they would then cook the good beans.

    But when it rained, the bad beans became seed and grew into beautiful bean plants. The same person who threw them away would harvest them, with a realization that the beans she threw away have VALUE.........

    Don't cry when people THROW you at the BACKYARD,
    Don't cry when people REJECT you,
    Don't cry while they are LOOKING DOWN on you.

    The RAIN is coming and the same people who are REJECTING you today will beg to HARVEST you tomorrow.

    AMEN!

    Greetings to Zidisha Community,

    According to my personal observations ,views and finding - As for me, Zidisha should be a place of joy and Comfort to every well meaning borrower not the way it is today. Truly,going through the pages shouldn't bring headaches at all. The sad situations that we are encountered when going through the loan application,the straggles and challenges that we are facing now. Regardless, how many attempts one makes day and night.
    These ones should be for each and everyone's questions or concerns;
    Where have we gone wrong?
    What should we do to re-correct the situation?
    What are the dos and don't s?
    What is it that,we are not doing right here?

    Please,this is my humbly appeal to my fellow borrowers,lets try to repay our Lenders on time has this will make it possible for them to help us even more and quickly. Then the Zidisha platform will be enjoyed and cherished for many many years to come! Honestly,when I joined Zidisha some good two years ago,it was really so wonderful with the sense of freshness in one's heart and soul going round,like one who have just entered into the Promised Land,no headaches felt but only joy was here.
    As for me I still feel the issue of increasing Credit Risk Fee and One-Time Membership Fees cannot be the solution to our current hiccups as at now.
    The best way to arrival on the best solution to our problem at Zidisha could be to allow each one of us to write his/her observations and we present/send it to our Country Liaisons to go through our suggestions carefully and later they forward it to the Director and the entire management to look at it further and closely. After that,then the situation can be arrested and sorted out in the appropriate manner and well balanced policies can be made perfectly after that,which will suit the situation at hand now.
    As VMs,we are the ones on the ground where the actual reasons of why some borrowers are failing to repay on time to the lenders. So my friendly suggestions to this would be for us and other borrowers who might not be VMs at the moment to write about our challenges at length and we pass it on to our respective Country Liaisons to have a look at it first and then forwarded it to the Authorities Up there for consideration. In so doing,the solution will be found based on different views from different borrowers from different Countries. Vice-versa, the same should be done by the Lenders which should be submitted or made available to the Director and the Management such that: The borrower's Information/Observations Vs Lender's Information/Observations can be compared and see where AMENDMENTS should be made for us to move forward in the right direction.

    Its ONLY then and the ONLY way the solution to this Zidisha hiccups will ever be solved. With that in place,I confidently believe that ZIDISHA once again will blossom like the Garden of Eden soon.
    Please Zidisha is our dream come true for our lives, all is needed is to make perfect Amendments for our White Elephant- ZIDISHA.
    This will help Zidisha to ELIMINATE the borrowers with no INTEREST for ZIDISHA at heart at ALL.
    With much joy and many thanks,
    KINGFORD KASONDE KESHENI.

      This was such a wonderful post Kingford :-)
      You seem like such a wonderful human being...

      The funny thing was that I found your profile because I've been trying to get in touch with Edrina Munthali: www.zidisha.org/loan/buying...

      Hopefully she sees your post... It is very inspiring :-)

      I hope your efforts & good intentions continue to be seen, because someone who goes to this much effort to try and inspire a fellow person who may be struggling deserves to be appreciated :-) Thank you for being part of the zidisha community... We need more people like you...

      Wishing you all the best, Emma from Australia.

    Hello Lenders,
    I am here today just to inform you that,I am sorry that am running late to make a repayment but real soon,I will be able to do it. I have been feeling too well of late but am getting better now.
    Once again,sorry for that disappointment which even made me to drop on repayment rate and credit limit.
    Hope you will spare me for the meantime.
    Many thanks,
    Kingford.

    Zidisha is the best there was, the best there is and the best there will ever be! Despite having a full-time job, salary alone has not been enough because the economy in my country Zambia is is so bad. People survive on less than $1 per day and interest rates at banks are so high. Zidisha is filling that gap in my life. Thanks to Zidisha and all lenders for being so supportive.
