Thank you my dear lenders, am very grateful for everything that you've done to me, my life has really changed because of the support you've offered to me.
Am going to buy more shoes and ladies handbags and more second hand clothes for my business.
This is going to enable me meet the market demand and it is going to increase profit margin tremendously and change my lifestyle.
I am very very happy, and I want to thank you so much, I hope you understand how much I appreciate you. Thank you once again. Be blessed all you.
I purchased non perishable goods for my hotel for Kesh 80,000 and the remaining amountKesh20,000 was used for transport and buying the perishable goods which some of them I had to get them from a far away place . Thanks zidisha lenders for i got 80% profit from the money you lend me and i was to pay school fees who was in college.
I was able to get a Honda Brush cutter for $580. Tested it in the back yard as you can see behind me. After looking into more reviews, I settled for the Honda because its comfortable to work with for longer hours. I have become more efficient and my customers will be enjoying the cost benefit to it.
The loan I acquired from Zidisha was used to finance my dairy business wherein I increased the stock and the variety of goods I was selling with the facilitation of a motorcycle. I bought more fresh milk, yoghurt and ghee products which I suoolied to my customers. The business prospered in the first 2 months and enabled me to buy equipments for my house such as a gas cooker and other untensils. Unfortunately the business came into a standstill when the management of the company from where I bought the milk products changed. With the new management, I could not get enough profits and therefore had to quit the business and began a clothing business. I invested my money in a clothing which I left my younger brother to run while I engaged in online freelance writing on part time. The business fetched good profits to enable me pay rent, get household necessities and also repaying the loan. It expanded and gave me profits of up to 60 percent. A strike occured in Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology and students on riot broke into my business premises subsequently stealing all my stock. This affected my repayment much and could not repay my loans on time. At the moment, I have restocked the clothing business and it is being run by my younger brother while I manage it though the stock is limited and could like to borrow a loan that will be enough to buy a mini laptop for freelance writing business and at the same time finance the clothing business. Attached is a photo where I stocked my clothing business that is being run by my younger brother in the picture

When I was applying for the loan, I clicked on 20 but it kept changing to 96. 20ghc will be more convenient for me to pay. As am paying the flour with cash now , am saving almost 5gh CEDI's on each flower I buy.
Last Saturday with the help of two of my classmates, I organised a pre-mother's day health screening for the Women's Movement of a church at Tema, a city on the Gulf of Guinea and Atlantic coast of Ghana. Though the screening was organised for the women, we had some men participating.
We had about 50 participants.We measured their heights with the stadiometer and their BMI, BMR, visceral fat , total body fat, skeletal muscle mass and weight was measured with the body composition monitor. Their blood glucose level was measured with a glucometer and their blood pressure was also measured with a blood pressure monitor.
Every participant paid $1.29 (5GHC).
All the participants had the privilege to be educated and counseled on healthy eating.
the loan has greatly strengthen my business. it allowed me to participate in a fair loincloth woven ouaga. my loan also allowed to propose woven loincloth for the festival March 08
le prêt a énormément renforcer mon activité. il ma permis de participer à un foire du pagne tissé à ouaga. le prêt m a permis aussi de proposer des pagne tissé pour la fête du 08 mars
I am experiencing a steady growth though slow but am sure with time it will pick.The loan was very helpful in expanding my supply besides my retailing shop.
Zidisha is a God sent platform, when I started I was struggling with capital to start and sustain my business. You have uplifted my financial and economic status, I started my business, sustained and maintained it.
Then when I completed my first loan, I was offered a second one and extended my business. As at now I am able to create employment and even help other members of my society.
May God continue to bless Zidisha and all the lenders.
