Hi! my donors, I thank all of you for your kindness and generous contribution to my loan that I applied from Zidisha. Currently I'm undergoing some problems in that there is scarcity of the commodities that I had intended to purchase as my stock in my business, therefore inrespect of this I wish to request more time at least four more weeks so that I get the items. All the same I wish to tell you that I will by no means let you down.Thanks and may God bless Zidisha community.

Hi Stephen,
It seems you have to always push your luck too far!

You're back fundraising with the same blurred photo.

You must be the luckiest borrower on Zidisha to achieve full funding with same photo.

More thanks to Zidisha team for the empowerment you gave me.My business so far is going on well only with few challenges of which the entire country experiences the same.I have a little bit expanded my business in terms of stocking and transportation.
In terms of sales,I have improved quite tramindiously about 64% and will extremely improve once I add another bike for enhancing transportation.The bike supplies commodities in various kiosks from my shop and truely this has added value to my business.It my prayer that I open some kiosks or shops in other areas so that I reach many clients who are in need of my services and commodities.Thanks Zidisha for creating the difference and may God bless you.

  Hello Mr. Kalume - I notice that your current loan application is not funding very quickly - and I think I know why - your main photograph is not the best. I suggest that you replace the photograph that appears at the top of your profile with the photo of you in your shop which you posted in September. I hope that this will really help you!

    Hi Kilmeny,
    
    I share your view on his profile photo. Its too dull to attract much need attention.
    
    If the loan expires partly funded, he has the profile photo to blame.
