Hello Lenders, 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.

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. Thanks, Florence.

Zidisha has been a great help to me. It has been a dependable partner since we met. The previous credit was a great deal of help. Thus it helped to secure a new place for my fashion. This new place has increased production and sales. The stress of production and the dissatisfaction of customers that the place posses has now been eradicated by the new space. Now I produce with a little or no stress and customers feel comfortable waiting for them to be served. The has now increased my income by 60%. Thank you zidisha I am for ever..... Thank you
