To my lenders. I am now at the tail end of my loan repayment. This is my first loan ever and I must say that I was a bit apprehensive when I applied for this loan. I am glad my fears were unfounded since I have found Zidisha's terms to be very friendly. The money has been of much help to my business since I was able to buy a few cartridges which I then sold at a tidy profit. I hope to keep a clean record as I prepare to apply for another loan soon.

I must say this is the best micro-finance and most reliable sourcde of small finances to boost businesses. I have established the car wash and now looking foward to improving its status by purchasing a bigger machine. Loan repayment has not been a problem as i did this promptly from my small business. Furthermore my small car has a new battery, the car has been of great help running small errands and ding small businesses. I look forward to a brighter future with Zidisha. Thanks so much. Thanks.

I have the students already using the materials and the computer I have bought now is making my work easier by far. I am making the records required by the headquarters of the school of ministry and I am able to access information required easily. Communication now is easier and faster. I am able to record the results as they come forth for the purpose of delivery on daily basis. Thanks to Zidisha and all the lenders who are like a closely knit family with a goal of lifting the lives of people everywhere. God bless you so much.
