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

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

Yes, Joseph, contratulations! Zidisha is an excellent tool to manage businesses of various sizes. Some people do want very large businesses, it's true; but others don't want to manage a very large business and prefer a small to medium-size operation. Whichever size you want to reach and maintain, we all wish you happiness in your life. That is the most important thing. :-) Best wishes, Laurie The Zidisha Team
