Great things has Zidisha done for me. I used the money given me to buy Maize during the Maize cropping season. I keep preparing a favorite local dish known in my locality as banku and sell it to people. As my best meal, my family also depend on the same meal. Because I bought the Maize during the cropping season, I was able to buy it cheaper. Due to the bad weather condition in my country, farmers who wanted to plant the later Maize in the year couldn't make proper yield. The stock of Maize I bought has now become very expensive. I now 50% extral profit on each bag of Maize sold. My increase earnings to rent a new room for my sister's who are helping me with my business. In fact my sisters who are helping me with my business have graduated from the higher school with excellent grades. I am happy for them. Come to my place every Friday and enjoy thank God it is Friday. This is when families meet together and enjoy themselves with varieties of games and other entertainment programs.
