The Zidisha concept is a stand alone for me and a lot of families and individuals especially in countries like ours in Africa. Our youth and the general population are enabled academically but the opportunities are very few compared to the number of needy people. Zidisha organization through the administration and the good and trustworthy lenders have made our lives valid and purposeful. Thank you so much and honestly, my personal life and that of my family has completely changed for the better. John.

Thank you very very muck Mr. Paul Graham and the Zidisha Team. We planted the Craspedia seedlings in 2 phases and expect to start selling in February. Growth has been slower due to the on-going unusually dry season. With the loan, we are going to use Ksh.4,000 for purchase of organic manure from a neighbouring farm. This will help improve quality of soil and water retention. In addition, Ksh.20,000 will be used as deposit towards hire purchase of a 10,000 litres water tank valued at Ksh.98,720 which includes delivery to the farm. The balance of about Ksh. 78,720 will be payable in 24 months @ Ksh.3,280 per month from the proceedings of flower sales. Having a water tank will help keep the flower plants fresh and allow for constant flowering so that we can harvest on a weekly basis. In addition, we can be able to diversify to other horticultural products which are in high demand in the local market; as well as provide a source of clean water for the families that assist at the farm. Once again, thank you to you Mr.Paul Graham and the Zidisha Team. PS: Having a challenge posting progression images... comment image

Thought I have not starting harvesting jet but am really go to get much profit of about 80% increment than before because this time is dry season and vegetables are always in high demand.In fact I have bought a motor cycle for my wife with the interest I got from my earnings.
