Goodmorning my dear lenders, out of the Ghs 1935.00 I received, Ghs 888.00 was invested into my food supplements, and Ghs 1047 invested into my mobile money business, I have made lots of improvement in my business. I have made Ghs 500.00 profit over the past two weeks. Part of this profit was used to take care of my family and part reinvested into my business. If you come to my area at this time, everyone is busy harvesting their farm products so they can't have lots of time to spend the Christmas. My family is really grateful for all this help zidisha has been offering me, formerly we could not afford three square meal, but after join zidisha for just 6 months, our life has really improved tremendously. My dear lenders, my family is really grateful for all the support. Thank you. May God continue to bless you and grant you all your wishes.

Within the nearby environment, there are many building activities done by wealthy individuals, county government,school premises, store places and other business structures.I am applying for another loan to progress in life, improve income and purchase more building required items. comment image

Here"s the process of making bricks: 1. Raw materials Soil, Sand and Ash mixed into one dough with the right composition. 2. The dough is inputted into the brick press machine so that it comes out raw bricks. 3. The bricks are still wet and then transported to dry in the outdoor outdoors to dry, this process about 3-5 days. 4. Bricks that have been dried and then transported and stacked in the room. 5. Bricks that have been prepared to be baked in order to mature, the combustion process is 24 hours non-stop. 6. Mature bricks ready for sale to consumers.

This is the current state of the land as I finish up fencing.The following are my typical cost for fencing: Chain- link/wire-mesh 6 bunches each at Ksh 2300, Barbed wire one piece at Ksh 4200, Fourteen pieces of metals at Ksh 1050 per metal. This metal each produced 3 pieces of metal posts . I only needed 38 posts and hence the reminders were used as support. Labor for erecting the fence is Ksh 5000. Labor for cutting and welding a single metal was Ksh 50 . There were miscellaneous costs of transportation from market place of Ksh 500 and also sand transport and ballast 2 wheelbarrows each at Ksh 200 Two bags of cement at Ksh 750 each. Holes for erecting the poles/posts were dug but was part of the labor for erecting the fence. The benefit of fencing the land is to curb wild animals from interfering with my crops especially at fruit stage and also keeping away goats , chicken, and cows. It also helps prevent further land disputes after you have made the payments since beacons are erected even before involving a surveyor. The work of surveyor would be to confirm the land transactions. I will now be set to begin developing the small land by all means. Take not of the face of the piece of land and in near future you will see the change. Welcome aboard and help me with your ideas as I embark on this great mission on my piece of land. comment image

I will use this loan to buy a sprayer pump and pesticides for farming in my farm. The pump that I will buy will cost about $250 and then the remaining amount I will buy pesticides for spraying my crops against the pests. I will be able to harvest high yields from the form due to controlled pests. My profit is projected to increase by 50% of my current earning. Other people will benefit by getting vegetable readily available in the market. ThNk you all lenders.
