Hello today, Business is good when one doing it is assured of a safe future. I thank Zidisha for allowing me be one of the Volunteer Mentors. On this, I've tried to call my mentees but most of them are not reachable on phone. I'll keep doing my best to help others too. Thank you.

Sijambo James. Thank you for taking your time to write to me. I really appreciate your advise. I thought that taking Hotel management course may help me manage my future dream business. Yes i have been thinking about the cost implications now that i have a dependant already. I spoke to my volunteer mentor Leila Sarifu who happens to be a good friend of mine and a focused enterprenuer. Yes i must admit that any session with her i learn something new in the business world. I mentioned to her about my plans to take a Hotel Management course and she had the same feeling that i have what it takes to make my dream business succeed. "Barbra , enterprenuers are born enterprenuers , you dont have to be in class to become one " She advised me to take Business Management course on Allison since its free and still much to learn. Am so excited about this and can't wait to start next week. I will only be spending 30 mins per day on Allison online learning. I have seen many course that will help me better my skills for my future dream business. In my small Langata shop i only sell take away no seats for clients to sit. James, this weekend i will be cooking at a birthday party of 45 quests, i thank God for the favour and grace. Zidisha has made me discover much about my potential. Thank you for noticing that in me. I now believe no one was born a failure , wether with parents or not! We can all make it in life only if you choose to. May God bless you big.

Depuis notre installation à Ouagadougou, j'ai arrêté le commerce des pagnes car mes clientes étaient toutes basées à Bingo et environnants. Les étagères que j'avais confectionnées pour poursuivre à Ouagadougou ne m'ont pas beaucoup servies. Mais, nous nous occupons des activités de "l'Association Amour Divin" et avons réalisé plusieurs projets, dont celui du journal dénommé "Le Nouveau Monde", installé dernièrement. Merci à l'équipe Zidisha et à tous ceux qui m'ont soutenue. Since our establishment in Ouagadougou, I have stopped selling the wrap-cloths because my clients were all based in Bingo and surrounding areas. The shelves I had made to continue in Ouagadougou have not been very useful. But we're busy with the business of the "Divine Love Association" and have completed several projects, among those the newspaper called "The New World", recently introduced. Thanks to the Zidisha team and to all those who have supported me. comment image

Laurie · United States

Feb 5, 2017

Hello, Isaac! Please don't assume that lenders don't want to fund your loan. They simply may not have anything available in re-lending funds at the moment and also may not have enough in their personal household budgets to upload any additional funds to the platform. Those are just two of the many factors that affect how quickly a loan gets fully funded, or whether it does at all, during a particular funding period. Also keep in mind that loans very often get fully funded on the last day that they're posted, sometimes even during the last hour. True, sometimes some loans get fully funded much more quickly; and also true that sometimes some loans do expire, but any borrower with an active account can post a new loan request very quickly after the expiration of the earlier request. Never fear, and persevere! :-) Best wishes, Laurie The Zidisha Team
