Dear lenders, I am with much gratitude to you for having bring back the reason for someone like me and several others to live. Yes, Zidisha is the restorer of hope. I never thought that my name could be mentioned on a public microphone for people to cheer me up. Always when I try to remember about two years ago, I felt like crying. I owe it a responsibility to pray for the founder and all Zidisha lenders each day without rest. Yes! Zidisha is changing lives in the little way you help found loans. As in the holy bible, "give and it shall be given onto thee" I ask that more lenders should gladly join Zidisha.

Dear my lenders and zidisha team in general,I once again want to thank you for the much support you have been giving me since I joined you late last year in fact my life has changed a lot and I have learnt new things concerning my cosmetic and saloon shop. To highlight few i have learnt how to manage my business, how to handle my customers and to maximize profit, I have also learnt how to select my product according to customers needs and demand. This year i plan to get more customers by traveling and delivering my products to their destinations so that my customers get humble time to work and also to know their demands. I also plan to increase more stock so that my customers get what need at a right time and at good price. My future plan about my business is to open more branches and this still need more capital and so iam planning to complete my loan in few weeks and apply for another.

Hi Lenders and thank you for your patience on my update, I am yet to acquire the business permit due to new regulations, I have been made aware a unified licence has been introduced which consolidates permits to operate a business. I am required to pay fire licence which has been made compulsory in addition to the business permit which will cost me about 40 dollars additional. I am hoping to raise the amount within a short period of time with the profits I am getting from the shirt sales. Will keep you updated on the progress. comment image
