My previous loan was so timely. I was able to meet my clients orders so timely, and i got some referral to new clients. This is a very big boost to my business.. I generated enough profit which was enough to pay for this loan, I was able to do for my children school shopping and my standard of living has improved.

Dear all, How are you? Hope you all fine and okay. As I told you before, I have cattering business since year 2000. Thank you God I have many loyal customers. My customer not only personal but also restaurant. I supply them desserts such as Apple Pie, Spotted Dick, Rollie Pollie Jam, etc. My Apple pie even got good review in Jakarta Restaurant Review I wish that after I renovate my home I could have production room and storage room. Below some of my kitchen product. I use brand Mymessy Kitchen and I have advertise it on my Facebook. Sometimes I visit a group and teach the house wife or any one who wants to learn to cook or bake. For free. Seeing them could make money and help their husband to support the family makes me happy. Mostly I teach them how to make something from left over raw material such as egg white that mostly not use by the Martabak maker ( martabak is one kind of food like pancake). I use it as raw material for cookies, cakes or poodings. And it works. And now the waste have the financial value. I hope I could do more then this. And have a bigger chance to take them to have more valuable life. And I hope Zidisha could walk along with me. Warm regards from Pamulang

Today I completed preparing the disused space between my house and my neighbour's wall. I call it the Cherry Tomato Corridor. It is 10 inches deep and almost 4ft wide. The bed is lined with compost and topped with humus-rich soil. It took all morning to lay the rock path. The Cherry tomatoes have successfully germinated in my shed and will be ready for transplanting in slightly over two weeks from today. comment image

I just joined Zidisha the other day and I quickly put up a proposal to buy a sewing machine and raw materials since my business deals in leather products. It was not long to be given the loan and I can say that I bought the machine and materials. (See the photo attached) The qualities of my products are now high compared to the ones I used to make earlier before buying the high quality raw materials. Everything just happened very fast, immediately I bought the high quality materials I just got an order of 20 motorbike covers to be supplied in Mfangano Island. I was amazed to see the quality of my products. My clients were satisfied beyond their expectation and this has made them to refer their friends who might be in need of leather products to me and thus increased my sales. Thanks to Zidisha for enabling me get quality raw materials. Now my clients can refer their friends to BEST LEATHER PRODUCTS and without doubt my business is growing.
