Wow...!!!! Thank you so very much my lenders for fully funding my loan!!!! Am extremely elated for this generous act that you have done for me. Well, as already highlighted in my loan application profile, I intend to purchase a radiator for my recently acquired taxi minibus. Once the taxi minibus starts operating, it means that the fleet of my taxi minibus will increase from one to two, thereby also increasing the revenue that will be realized from my transport business. Moreover, the taxi minibus will create employment to the driver and conductor that will be employed. Taxes will also be paid to the government. A very big thank you once more time to you all my good, wonderful and generous lenders. You have made the running and growing of my transport business much easier, in that you always come through for me in times of need. May God richly Bless You All..!!!

I must confess, I'm so grateful to all lenders who have always loan me. The loan I just finished paying was used to purchase a bag rice and sugar. Part of the profit I made helped me to buy other items I needed in my shop. These extra items I bought with my profit attracted more customers to buy from me since I had variety. My new loan when funded will be used to buy assorted drinks and biscuits to stock my shop. These assorted drinks and biscuit will help me earn much profit for my business since Basic school children will be having their end of year get together popularly called OURDAY. During this period, they buy different drinks and biscuit to add to their home prepared food and take to school. When this loan is funded ,I will be able to make this purchase which will raise my profit margin by 22%. I therefore plead with all lenders to help fund my loan and I promise to pay all installment amounts on time.

Rentals are a big cost in business in this part of the world. This is the reason I determined to build myself a shop. It's going to be expensive initially but will pay off in the long run. I have broken the project in 4 phases. Phase 1.) Foundation, Superstructure, Roofing, Floor and Septic tank. Total cost about $2,300 (Completed) Phase 2.) Plastering walls, Doorframes and doors, Window frames and Window panes, Painting. Total cost $2,000 (More than half has been done) Phase 3.) Toilets, Verandah (Roofing, Pillars, Electrical wiring, Tiles) Total cost about $250 Phase 4.) Electricity connection to power grid, Equipment (Photocopier, Laminator, 2 Secondhand desktops, 2 Tablets, 4 Secondhand chairs) Total cost about $1,000 I plan to help the youths in the area in the way of motivating them to make something of their lives and have computer games as way of teaching and recreation. There is not much in the way of creation and role-models here.
