Goodmorning good people,i would like to in the first place thank you for the great favour you did to me by giving me the loan 4months ago.My shop has really grown and am so glad about it.I had bought bags and make ups with the cash i got from you and i got much returns which i divided;some for getting more make ups and bags and some for creating bussiness cards for my shop website,facebook page,instagram and tweeter. I also created a watsapp group for my customers,where i post pictures of new arrivals for customers to place their orders.Am now intending to stock for clothes and shoes to provide a variety of stuffs to my customers,and make much sales in this peak season.Thats why i've thought of applying another loan.Thanks again for your continued support and may God bless you abundantly!!

Zidisha has inspired me to belief that I can achieve all my dreams. Initially, I could not afford to repay an installment of $5 per week consistently with ease. Zidisha funding has changed the story. I now envision to be a proprietor of a national/ regional transport company one day. The strategy of reaching this goal is starting by saving part of the profit I get from my current business and requesting my Zidisha lenders for additional funding. I intend to start small in a few months. Your continuous support is requested. Thank you.

Dear Lenders I thank you for the support you have rendered to me. Through the loan i have attained confidence to do more in indigenous poultry business.

Dear Lenders, Am extremely happy with zidisha as far as my education is concerned,i recently got a promotion from my manager after he saw university registration documents in my employment file,after graduating from college with a higher diploma in media studies,i proceeded to register for a degree in the same field,i think this motivation to sharpen my skills prompted the manager to reward me with promotion,it would not have been possible without the assistance of zidisha,i did not encounter any financial huddles and to cap it all am servicing my loan well,to make it interesting am sure i will be funded again after finishing the current loan......what a smooth ride with zidisha..may zidisha live and thrive for generations and generations,thanks.

I thank my lenders through Zidisha for enabling me complete my recently concluded research project on organic pesticide. I am planning to go to the next phase after my manuscript is published by the Journal of Health and Pollution. This has made a difference in my career. I will get an opportunity to partner with my former lecturers (of Chemical Engineering) and together we will work on the product's commercialization. This will entail further research on the product development (final formulation, preservation, patenting, packaging, pilot plant production, other) and projecting the commercial model for industrial scale partnerships.
