I do sale scones and tailoring plus designing.I make some good income but the challenge is not having enough working capital to invest into my business to carter many customers. The demand is quite high within my community and beyond. I would appreciate if I could be supported by the Zidisha Community with my loan request so that,I boost up my business in order for to meet with my customer's demands.

    Made a few payments early on, but has not been heard from since January 2018. In October 2019, I finally gave up and transferred the loan to the Zidisha Members Loan Fund.
