Hello, my great sponsors! I want to gladly inform you all that this week has been a blessing to my business, as I have recorded the highest sales ever since I opened my shop one-and-half years ago. I have no doubt that I am going to achieve my goals, thanks to Zidisha. How I wish I had known about Zidisha when it was founded; I could have attained my goals and started giving back to the community sooner. May God bless you all & your families, for me and other borrowers. We really need your support on this journey.

The amount given to me was used to buy electrical cables, set of screw drivers and fittings that was used for some house contract that I had to do installation. The profit was used to pay my younger Sister's school fees and I also used some to stock my electrical shop. This load that I had helped me to reduce my financial burden and has also aid to stock my shop and has been able to enjoy one shop keeper. Thanks a lot to my lenders.

Dear Team Zidisha and Lenders, Please, when you are praying, remember me too, as I always remember you in my prayers. Pray for me that, all my dreams shall come true. You came as an angle for me and I am so proud of you and proud to be part of Zidisha borrowers. I will always pray for your happiness. Your names are included in the list of my prayers. I will always remember you for helping in my classroom building. When the building of the classroom gets done, some of the parents will definitely bring their wards from ‘town’ to the ‘village’ school, which will be so wonderful and so unique. Because, I will also buy a brand new school bus, which will occupy 100 students, and advertise on all the radio stations in Sunyani, by your support. When God permit. The student will feel very comfortable and always proud to be a student of CHILDREN ARE TOMORROW FUTURE EDUCATIONAL COMPLEX (CATFEC). I am very grateful for your wonderful support, kindness and your good friendship. Please, I bought three (3) trips of chippings, three (3) trips of sand and fifty (50) bags of cements, and have been used for the foundation level. As it’s my big dream to finish everything this year 2016, I have strongly started the “Project” and currently at the foundation level as I said and this school is going to be a story building. Even though, I receive a monthly salary from the Controller and Accountant General Department, since I completed my Training College of Education and posted to work as a teacher at Sunyani. Parents also are paying their wards, school fees impressively. Frankly speaking, it’s only not that funds which I am really benefiting from, but the affordable loans that you always provides to me. So I am really grateful. May God richly bless you all. Please, Attached are the photos of the project. Thank you.

Hi to my lenders. I must say that joining the Zidisha community has been a blessing. Business is not the same as it used to be in the past. I have seen a lot of tremendous improvement. Out of the business, I am able to continue my education as I speak. One thing that fascinates me most is the flexible terms of repayment. It's unbelievable this. You will never get anywhere as far as micro-lending is concerned, unless you are with Zidisha! Thanks very much.

I love you all. comment image

Hello, Lenders! It's been a while since I posted here. It was because I was out of town with my team to carry out business as usual! I must admit that business eventually has picked up, especially in this month of March. We have seen a tremendous increase in patronage and a lot more has been attended to! This is actually in line with my desire of attending to more and more people on a daily basis. So, I'm very excited by this development and I hope this trend continues! Thanks so much for your support. Regards.

Hallo to all my lenders and the Zidisha team! I am very happy to let you know that my loan to purchase the water tank is 100% funded! Am very grateful to all of you for trusting me. The water tank will go along way by easing my work as I will not have to go to fetch water the 3 km everyday. The time that I will save will be used to do some more productive work in taking care of my poultry and thereby ensure that I get additional profits. I will also save a lot of money in the long run which can be used in other ways in my families lives. Once again thank you my lenders- In our native language we say Asante Sana!!!!!

Hello Zidisha Team and Lenders. I hope you are all doing well. I take this opportunity to let you that am enjoying being part of this great family. My business is doing well though with some challenges. Demand of items is high and due to this the company has raised the cost of purchase to those who buy in small units. I have also gotten a small plot where am intending to do farming . I will keep you posted on this new project. I also intend to create employment by getting two people to assist me in this new project. May the Good Lord continually bless each and everyone of you. I remain, Joseph Mwangi

First, let me thank the Zidisha team for their continued support; the patience is more than any other financial organization in the whole sphere of the universe. Am very sorry for any inconvenience I have caused to anyone. I will resume back to making my payments in a short while. The inconvenience is highly regretted. I have had issues, but I am trusting God and I also am working to correct any errors in my business. I will not rest until I have uploaded the last coin owed to Zidisha lenders. You are of great help to me; words cannot express it enough.
