I am very grateful to be a member of Zidisha. I thank Zidisha for introducing me to members of the organisation. I am very grateful to the members who have funded my school project. Thank you so much for your kindness. I will use the the funds to buy an oven to bake Bread and Scones for sale to the community around the school. This is an income generating project to help in school development for better performance. The income generated will also be used to subsidize school fees for children from poor families. I believe that with better performance the school will grow and I promise that I will keep you updated as the funders of this project. You are all part of this project. I am very happy because you have made my dream become a reality. May God bless you all so much.

Joshua · Nairobi, Kenya

Dec 16, 2022

I have always wanted to introduce Macadamia and Hass avocado farming in my rural area of Makueni which is actually known for orange, mangoes, and lemons.I believe an introduction of these farm products in Makueni (especially the HASS AVOCADO) will be able to be beneficial to rural small and large-scale farmers who depend too much on Citrus fruit farming which does not have export potential. The Hass avocado products' largest buyers are the Chinese and the current tonnage from Kenya cannot satisfy the market. So there is potential for diversification and engagement.I will use the funds to study and engage with the county government of the Makueni Ministry of Agriculture and introduce HASS AVACADO seedlings.

I'm fundraising to support an innovation project We are developing a new video conferencing solution for Africa. Black Mental Health Matters is also working on developing a mental health app to connect people that need mental health services with mental healthcare providers and ensure that people have access to culturally sensitive mental healthcare. Our goal is to create a virtual clinic which provides an enabling environment for people to heal or recover from trauma ,depression or any other mental health challenges while at the same time destigmatizing mental health in our communities. I know that this project has all merits for funding and hopefully one day will get the kind of support I need. Currently this project is relying on volunteers to get it done This project upon being completed will create thousands of jobs and positively impact the lives of many people living in Africa. Please note I'm running at least five various innovation projects and your support will be greatly appreciated. You can also alternatively directly support our projects by becoming a patreon. https://www.patreon.com/USAfrikagov Feel free to reach out for more information.
