About Me

Just wish to thank the Zidisha funds, the loan was available quite in time but teething problems become a problem to me, currently finding premises needs good will which was quite much as my children solely depended on me for merely everything and did not realize any profit, but the best outcome is that at least I have set structures and long time goals that will make me realize my dream, my mind is made with planting season I need money to plant my farm so that the little money will be able to add stock to the identified shop, will be glad to realize my dream, part of it is already fulfilled by your help and I know more will come and hundred percent will be top with my payments.

My Business

1. With the first loan it was such a teaching process, I have learnt that you can do much if you manage your finances and also focus on payment though it proved hard to pay up my loan because my business was not up and running but Zidisha gave me a chance not give up but to forge ahead and focus. This are things that I learnt that starting a business there is need to know how much to put in and also countries procedures of registration and how much to put in, also the location, the market and networking too. Zidisha has given me the zeal and passion to know that anyone regardless of the status can be able to make it and start earning; I know my dream will soon be realized that I will be able to look after my own family and help someone else just like the way Zidisha has jump started me, I have a passion to get up early and look forward to owning my own place and if things are not going well for me Zidisha has shown me that I can extend my payment giving me time to pay, it has really reduced the pain and the loss we go through, Zidisha is seriously another provider for people like myself who had dreams but did not know how to realize them slowly I will be called someone once settled, will upload my business once settled as you rejoice with me. I know my children will never lack and will have education that will enable them become independent through the help of Zidisha and someone else stand to gain once they are employed. Thank you for the great idea that is manageable to us, I know I can stand tall and say it is true someone pulled me up when the boat was sinking and that is Zidisha.

Loan Proposal

It has been a very difficult year for our country but we will turn around, being a single mother my aim is to try and come out of poverty and also ensure that I have left inheritance for children and my hope has been Zidisha that pays for them and ensures that they are comfortable in school by their grants, my hope is once they are through they will be a help in the soceity.
