About Me

My name is Kenneth Adevu. I am an entrepreneur. I am of a poor parentage; both my parents being peasant farmers and my father having three wives and 18 children. Growing up, my siblings and I lived in poverty and squalor but those conditions did not deter me from going to school. l fended for myself during the greater part of my schooling but by dint of hard work I trained as a graduate teacher. Now I teach at a senior high school where I have impacted several lives positively. I am married and have three children; the first one is in the second year in senior high school while the second and the third are in final year in junior high school and sixth grade respectively. With the income that I earn from my profession, I am able to take care of my family but the pressure from extended family members and other people is intense. Therefore, in order to meet extended family and other social responsibilities I have managed to set up few small businesses which rake in additional income and at the same time provide jobs for some otherwise jobless youths in my community.

My Business

My business is a stationery shop. I have opened the shop near my workplace and sell items to my students so that they have easy access to stationery for their school work. I derive income from the sale of the stationery. I have employed a senior high school graduate who could not afford money to enter into a tertiary institution as a shop assistant.

Loan Proposal

I need this loan to purchase more stock (mobile phones and its accessories) for sales. I intend to open more business joints and employ more hands thereby creating jobs for the teeming jobless youth in my community. More profits for my business also means that I can venture into other viable businesses like my dream of establishing my own school one day.
Just as other people would buy into my vision by lending to me to expand my business, I will also be empowered to lend to others to also grow their businesses if this loan is granted to me

    My dear generous lenders,
    Thank you for keeping faith in me by lending your money to me. You have been patient throughout the period of my repayment of the loan amount.

    Thankfully, I have finished paying today. Soon, I will put in another loan proposal for your consideration. I trust you would be there for me once again.
    Thank you all, not forgetting my volunteer mentors.

    Sincerely,
    Kenneth

    Business has slowed down quite considerably and it has affected my profits.

    I have been trying to make repayment of my loan amount since yesterday, Wednesday, 25th November, 2020 to no avail. There is a technical challenge somewhere.

    I have paid the third installment of my loan repayment. I hope to continue paying on schedule once business is doing fine.

    Thank you, my dear lenders for the confidence reposed in me by lending your hard-earned money to me. I will uee the money to purchase a laptop and a printer for for secretarial work. The returns will improve my family budget and that of my shop assistant.

    I pledge to repay the loan on schedule.

    Thank you.

    Dear Kenneth
    As an entrepreneur and Volunteer Mentor, you may be interested in a simple but effective (and free!) book-keeping and business planning website I have developed for village entrepreneurs. I have used it in my volunteering visits to Cambodia, Tamil Nadu - and here in Australia.
    I would be happy for you to use it also. It is set up to provide for multiple businesses under your own login, so you could provide accounting and advisory services for any number of businesses.
    You can check it out at www.iniPax.com (remember, it's free. Like contributing to Zidisha, this is what I do!).
    Kind regards
    Barry Cooper

    Kenneth,
    Great seeing you back. We spoke extensively this afternoon and truly to your words you applied for the Zidisha loan. I have no doubt in your trustworthiness and I know you can make it great on the Zidisha platform.
    To you lenders, you have another trustworthy borrower that when you borrow to, you are assure he wouldn't default in repaying your loan for you. God bless you all in advance as you fund his loan for him.

    Please I keep receiving a mail from your outfit stating that you are unable to send me payment because my GCB ACCOUNT is invalid and that I should change my account information within three days. Meanwhile, there is no handle where that change can be made. I have however sent my MTN Mobile Money number in Help Messages more than once but all to no avail.
    Please send the payment via 0246442173.

    Please Zidisha,
    Stop sending me messages to pay a debt I don't owe. You claimed to have deposited money into my bank account but concrete evidence from the bank shows that no such money was paid into my bank account. And now you are pestering me to make payments? Did you not do a similar thing to me in December 2018? You people rather owe me in respect of my Zidisha Member Loan Fund I paid upon signing up to be a member. Don't upset me!

    I had a conversation with Mr Kenneth. He said he didnt receive the loan after disbursement. That is why he has not made the payment. According to Kenneth this is not the first time such incidence has occurred. He has been encountering this challenge since he moved from the use of mobile money account in receiving his loan to the use of his personal bank account. I wish something is done about this issue to enable him make payments and take morr loans to help him build his life. Thank you.

    I would like my Members Loan Fund payment refunded to me. That would serve my interest now better than a costly loan that is not credited to my account in the first place, which is then followed by frustrations. Thank you, lenders for the previous loans.

    Dear Valued Lenders,
    I am unable to make any loan repayment because the loan has not been credited to my account. I'm sorry this is the second time Zidisha has done this thing to me, frustrating me. When I complained I am told to go for my bank statement before the issue can be resolved. Ridiculous!

    Dear Valued Lenders,
    Thank you for having faith in me and lending to ensure that my loan application is fully funded. I can assure you that I will certainly pay you back as soon the money hits my account and I use it for the intended purpose.
    Thank you and God richly bless you all.

    Dear Valued Lenders,
    Thank you for reposing trust in me by lending me.
    I will use the money to purchase a laptop computer and a printer for my shop. The addition of the two gadgets will help me render more services to patrons of my shop and this will increase my profit margin. My shop assistant will also have a higher pay and my family will also be better off.
    Thank you all.

    Dear Lenders,
    Thank you for what you have given so far towards the funding of my loan. It remains $50 for the loan to be fully funded. Kindly donate some more for the realisation of the full amount.
    Thank you.

      Greatly and wonderfully done. Ken, I'm happy for you that your loan is fully funded. Thank you to all lenders, and God Almighty bless you all for your show of love, care and generosity.

        Thank you, Chris, for introducing me to Zidisha. Zidisha has become a game changer for me. I am forever grateful. I will never let you and my lenders down.

    My dear lenders,
    I am pleased to inform you that I have fully repaid the last loan you advanced to me. Thank you for having faith in me and for your patience.
    I will soon put in a proposal for the next loan and trust that you will generously lend to me again. Thank you.

    Dear Zidisha and my cherished lenders,
    I would like to inform you all that my last loan repayment has finally been credited to my account. I have 100 GHS more to pay in order to make full repayment of the loan.
    Thank you all for your support and patience.
    Kind regards,
    Kenneth Adevu

    My dear lenders,
    I would like to thank you all for your patience.
    I am very much committed to repaying my loan on schedule. In that regard, I made a repayment of 160 GHS on Thursday, November 1, 2018 but the amount has still not been credited to my account. I have drawn the attention of the Zidisha team but they are yet to respond or rectify the anomaly. I trust the team to resolve the issue pretty soon.
    Thank you all.
