Hello blessed lenders and zidisha team. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you the great help you've been of to me. After my fifth loan I was able to increase my daily sales and monthly income due to increased stock and availability of variety of products. I was also able to employ someone to work on the lpg section ( handling and delivering of cooking gas to customers). This I believe helps reduce the cases of theft and other gross misconducts by youths due to lack of employment for self sustainance. I have been able to cater for my basic needs, my family in general, help the needy, repay my loan and plough back the remaining profits to the business. I can write a page and another but let me pause here for now and say that I am happy, honored and Greatful to be one the people whose life's you've touched and changed. Be blessed comment image
