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.
