    All I will say is that I have been waiting to be able to contribute to Christian's loans! I finally did few months back. He has just repaid it fully so am waiting to see another application from him. :-)

    Hi Christian, doing my annual round here! How are you doing? Sorry to see that your latest loan is not fulfilled. Looks like things have changed a lot here.

      Hello Joshi, it been a while. Funding projects in Ghana have paused for more than a year ago, due to the new directive from Bank of Ghana regarding crowd funding. Director Julia has petitioned Bank of Ghana to allow Zidisha resume funding new projects in Ghana. We are still waiting and expecting that Zidisha would soon resume funding new projects in Ghana.
      Thank you for your concern.

    Wishing to adjust my loan repayment once again due to some family challenges and I’m hoping to increase my loan repayment as soon as I’m able to overcome these challenges.
    Thank you to all those who supported me, God richly bless you.

    Wishing to adjust my repayment once again. I have spent so much on my building and it's almost ready, hence my inability to make more loan repayment for now. I'm very hopeful I will soon increase my loan repayment amount.

    Thank you all
