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

This is just to appreciate the zidisha team for the loan given. I purchased fertilizer and maize seeds for planting and also for selling. The business is doing very well during this planting season and I am having enough stock for my customers. My sales has increased to at least 30% and thus changed my living standard and also I have brought near to my community so they save on time and money for transport. Thank you very much and may the almighty God bless you all.
