Merry Christmas to you too Thomas and thanks for everything you did make 2016 a success year for me! The loan you gave me made it possible for me to reach so over 150 customers with clean and healthy solar lamps! The Rent-to-own Program was made possible because of people like you who believed in my solar lamp distribution business to people who needed it most- poor households! As we enter 2017, i want you to know that the success of the Rent-to-Own Program will be because of people like you who have believed in my social business. Together in 2017 we will distribute upto 1,000 solar lamps through our Rent-to-Own Program! Wishing you a happy and Healthy New Year!

Happy New Year Zidisha The New Year's Day. A fresh start. A new chapter in life waiting to be written. New questions to be asked, embraced, and loved. Answers to be discovered and then lived in this trans formative year of delight and self-discovery. Today we carve out a quiet interlude for our-self in which to dream, pen in hand. Only dreams give birth to change.Hoping smiles from the threshold of the year to come, whispering, 'It will be happier.' comment image
