I would like to sincerely give thanks to my lenders for the great support given to me. I will use the loan to import sixty (60) pen drives valued at $120 from China through aliexpress.com, one of the world's most reliable online business platforms. The remaining amount of $9 will be used to pay the import duties and other charges at the post office when the items arrive because they will be deliver via the post office system in order for it to get to my district after arriving at the shores of the country. When the goods arrive, the sale of it will assist me to get money and repay my loan as well as improving my family's standard of living. It will also enable me to do some little savings towards my tertiary education because it is my dream to become a teacher by profession to enable me impart the knowledge and skills gotten onto the younger generation to come and to be a renowned flourishing entrepreneur known for importation of storage device and other mobiles devices within Zebilla in the Bawku West District of Upper East Region of Ghana and its neighbourhood. The expansion of the business will also lead to creation of job opportunities for others who will subsequently come and take from me to retail.

My Dear lenders, Hmm! I don't know what to say. I never thought my application would be funded so soon. Thank you so much for the kind of heart you have for the needy. God richly bless you abundantly. I really appreciate what you all have done for me. I have come to believe that there are still good people in this world. I will buy the fridge as soon as the money gets to my MM Account. I believe this is indeed going to help me and it will add up to my profit and my working capital.

Hal lo lenders? Recently when u gave me the loan i was very delighted and i take this opportunity to thank you very much. As usual i purchased the ingredients needed in the making of the soap and containers for packaging. My business has expanded tremendously i have more customers who like my products and in the near future am planning to make fabric softener that's my next product because i have realized that many mothers especially the young mothers don't afford the fabric softener in the supermarkets so am planning to come up with a more affordable fabric softener. The purchase has made a difference because i have saved money to start my next project that is,making another product for my clients. My earnings has doubled from the previous one.I have not yet used my earnings am keeping it for the next move that i have already shared here. I have been able to raise money for my further studies in the University and my siblings are more comfortable. The interesting thing about my neighborhood is that you can buy items from the smallest portion to the largest one depending on your pocket.During the Easter holiday we visited the Nairobi National park to see different types animals ranging from the Lions,Monkeys,Zebras and antelopes.

Dear Zidish Lenders, I am very excited with what I did with my last loan. I am currently enjoying a 25% increment of profits from customers whom we have been able to meet their demands through baking more using the oven that I bought with the last loan. I am happy because I can provide the bakery products at all times thus meeting the customer needs. The profits are very handy because the less fortunate children at the school are now able to have a good meal once in a day. I really appreciate the work that the lenders are doing to sustain us and our dependands. May God bless you abundantly. Mabel

Here how my garden looks like. The peas are doing well. Have also planted maize and green grams. I got the opportunity to travel home this short holiday because of the labor day celebrations going on today in Kenya. If you would wish to follow up and see what Kenya has got in stock search for KenyaMoja and choose Citizen TV live. Its an interesting event I never miss. Am glad my long term project is doing well as I use my salary to pay back the loan. I could not be that far without your help my lenders.

I will buy glucometer and strips for determining the sugar levels of clients -this will help to avoid complications associated with diabetics. Also, I will buy hepatitis 'B' and 'C' strips to know their statuses thereby avoiding complicated liver diseases. I do not even know how to thank my lenders. All I want to say is I thank you immensely and may the almighty God richly bless you.

Hi Lenders, I bought set of spanners and air-pump with it. I am now able to inflate people's tire without so much difficulty and I have new set of spanners to replace my old ones. I charge anyone who inflates his or her tyre with the air-pump be it bicycle or motorcycle. I want to sell engine oil so I am saving the money to get enough to do so.

Hi Lenders, I bought a photocopy machine Ricoh Aficio 1018D with my previous loan. With the proceedings i have been able to maintain it i.e. replacing worn out parts like gears, charge roller, blade, drum (i didnt know it would cost so much these machine parts..smh) but its all part of the work. I have been able to photocopy more than 500,000 copies hence the need for replacing parts. I have also been able to take my two kids to school; boy is (6) in pre-unit and girl (3) baby class. They go to the same school. I have just paid their fees for their 2nd term that is beginning 3rd May 2017. I have been able to make profit and i have re used the profit to grow the business. I have recently bought a TFT desktop computer, i had the old type computer (as can be seen on the cover photo) that was occupying a lot of space and was consuming more power than the new TFT. The new TFT cost me approximately ksh. 4,000. I love it.
