    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.

    Log in to reply • Share
    • Christian    Nov 11, 2023

      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.

    Six months is passed and it's still no lending activity in Ghana. We are still looking forward and hoping that the narrative would soon change, so help me God.

    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
