Thanks you so much lenders for supporting my business all along. I am glad I have been able to reach a number of milestones through Zidisha credit. The last loan was particularly useful to my business because I managed to add more computer terminals in my computer room. This enabled me train more learners hence increasing my productivity. With such affordable credit, I can confidently say that the sky is the limit. Thank you once more.

Greetings, I would in the first instance like to extend my sincere gratitude to your kind selves for extending me the financial assistance that I have since completed repaying. For that, may the Almighty, from whom all good things flow, reciprocate. The loan I have just completed proved to be of immense help, and as usual, i am always and constantly amazed by your kindness. I used the funds to increase my stock and also to stock a few other items that my customers would ask for, for instance, i started stocking basins, buckets and other plastic items that are essential for everyday domestic chores in terms of washing laundry and kitchen utensils, you will note that from my part of the world, washing machines and kitchen sinks, are literally a luxury. the loan has assisted in uplifting the living standards of my family, as i am even able to contribute towards my younger sibling's education. Thank you, Zidisha.

Hello Shadrack! If your new modem works well, consider sharing it for profit. Some routers will connect directly to your Huawei, then you could let people connect via WiFi at a profit. It can be tricky, you would need to select just the right router. Regards, Dave

I'm glad that your Mum is recovered, and I look forward to learning your future plans, and seeing the photos of camp under coconut trees. It sounds very nice! If you tried to go camping here in my province by the ocean in November, you would get rained on a lot. If you tried camping in province in the mountains, you might get snowed on. Really you don't want to camp in November here, unless you are a super wilderness person. With a lot of hot chocolate.

blessed lenders i just want to say thanks for funding my loan i received the loan funds in good time and even now i have planted the banana seedlings. towards the end of next year the project will completely be well and widely established. i want to say this that when i began with zidisha i was completely job less but through the way i developed my village by using zidisha loans . It attracted alot of people everywhere and so they began to inquire of me about my education and other things so they made me famours even in the whole province of which caused one of the form manufacturing companies to employ me .although the money they pay me is too little but i accepted so that i can help other people.
