Nevertheless, this funds will help me implement my revenue diversification strategy (Google admin revenue stream) and offer business value proposition (smartphone with apps). As follows:
Inventor purchase of 20phones @$12=......... $240
Apps templates purchase & reskin 2@$50 = $100
Google publisher account cost 1@$25 = .......... $25
Marketing & advertisement of new services= $50
TOTAL............ $415

I top up the balance to do that successful.

Loan for my children’s education

Thank you my lenders Thank you Zidisha Team for the progression of my loan. This loan when given will make a great change in my life and that of others. This is the farming season of my area and is the best time I can do the expansion and properly maintain the existing one. I already have the land so I will use $250 for which comprises of clearing,final preparation and planting. The cost per farm help per day at my area is $6 . So I can employ the service of about 42 people on it. I will also use $180 to buy 150 seedlings of citrus for the planting and that will qualify me to be selected for award in the future. There rest of the $120 will be use for purchasing of agricultural inputs for plant health and growth.

Expanding my cocoa farm

The farm

Expanding my cocoa farm

Dear lenders, as posted earlier I expressed to you how the loan that just ended affected my life improvements, I have been given another platform here to let you know about it again. The loan that just ended was used for an additional motor Kia for the supply of sache water produced to customers, in fact it did helped me in my business a lit because there was only one of them,
And when this one got faulty work always breaks but since I was able to get additional motor work never breaks in the name of motor fault,
Due to this, comparing the previous profit percentage when there was only one motor Kia to when I had an additional one, there was a vast difference, profit was huge most of the time comparing to when I was having only one motor.
I used the earnings for so many things, I used some for the support of my younger sister in school admission fee, I also supported my parent with it and was able to buy lots of stuffs for them including phones and cloths, I was able to used some to reinvest in the business as well and employed workers too, in fact it has helped me a lot,
M'y family are so happy about my life improvements though I haven't been able to further my education to the university, this is all because of the help from zidisha and my cherish lenders,
I am applying for my third loan for a different business and I wish you could help me about it again,
May God bless you all.

Singer/Songwriter & Recording Artist

Hello, I would like to thank the team and all Zidisha lenders who accompanied us in the realization of our projects, for me and for all the members who continue to benefit.
Like I said in the beginning, my profits are not necessarily financial. So I cannot say that I am financially wealthy. I am of the spiritual search and I reach my goals. The government of my country began to trust me. I recently received a letter of encouragement from the Minister of Culture which gives me technical support by the General Directorate of Cultural Heritage. The latter asked me to submit an application to become a Living National Treasure. I received a grant for the publication of a new book that should soon be on the market (end of March). I host conferences on various spiritual topics and I have to defend myself shortly in front of a scientific committee who has to testify the scientific approach of my discoveries about the justice provided by the Earth and Heaven. I have to defend the justice of the Earth will be made by Ten-peelem, an ancestral practice of Burkina Faso that can be improved and modernized; justice of heaven will be carried out through the channel of the advent of Planet X, etc.
In short, with members of Divine Love Association, we are doing great things with small means. For example, I helped the couple Boundaoné Aminata and Pierre set up a newspaper. I just got a job as a host on a radio station, but this isn't the end of the road for me!

Bonjour, j'aimerais remercier toute l'équipe de Zidisha et tous les prêteurs qui nous ont accompagnés dans la réalisation de nos projets, pour moi et pour tous les membres qui continuent d'en bénéficier.
Comme je l'ai dit au début, mes profits ne sont pas forcément financiers. Je ne peux donc pas dire que je suis nantie financièrement. Je fais de la recherche spirituelle et j'atteins mes objectifs. Le gouvernement de mon pays a commencé à me faire confiance. j'ai reçu dernièrement une lettre d'encouragement du Ministre de la Culture qui m'accorde un accompagnement technique de la Direction Générale du Patrimoine Culturel. Cette dernière m'a demandé de déposer un dossier pour devenir un Trésor Humain Vivant (THV). J'ai reçu une subvention pour l'édition d'un nouveau livre qui ne devrait pas tarder à être sur le marché (fin mars). J'anime des conférences sur des thèmes spirituels divers et je dois me défendre bientôt devant un comité scientifique qui doit attester de la démarche scientifique de mes découvertes à propos de la justice rendue par la Terre et le Ciel. je dois défendre que la justice de la Terre sera rendue par le Ten-peelem, une pratique ancestrale du Burkina Faso qui peut être améliorée et modernisée; la justice du ciel sera rendue par le canal de l'avènement de la planète X, etc.
Bref, avec les membres de l'association Amour Divin, nous faisons de grandes choses avec de petits moyens. Par exemple, j'ai aidé le couple Boundaoné Aminata et Pierre à mettre en place un journal. Je viens d'obtenir un poste d'animatrice dans une radio de la place et je ne compte pas m'arrêter en si bon chemin.

Vehicle for delivering chicken and eggs

Hi lenders and Zidisha staff, I hope that you are all okay. My family and I are all doing fine and I appreciate all this because of the trust that Zidisha and the lending community has done to our lives!

To be honest, I never knew such an opportunity might occur in my life, to be able to get loans and repay without the hustles that are associated with the banking industry.

Zidisha has taught me the discipline of borrowing and repaying and doing projects as a business - with profits being the driving force; opening opportunities and being able to live by means and at the same times honoring my debt obligations!!!

Thank you so much Zidisha and lenders, the lessons you have taught me can only be taught in high level universities - this is real!!!

Thank you very much for you continued support, and you are all in my prayers. God bless.
