Thanks again.. dear ZIDISHA. The recent loan I received has actually helped me a lot. I no longer purchase my goods on credit to pay extra 8%interest on each good. My profit has increased due to the large capital I have obtained from ZIDISHA.

After getting my loan, I had to purchase more clothes and men shoes for my shop to add up my stock. This increased my income due to the customers' demand and shows an increase of my investment percentage from 15% to 25%. I have spent my income to pay my daughter's fees since she is in boarding school and settle my daily needs. Through this loan i had learnt to be Hard working and learnt on how to save for my loan payment and future usage. I am proud of Zidisha team since I get some savings to spend on my holidays.

Hi, my wonderful lenders. I could not hide my joy as I was going out to the nearby hardware store to purchase the pipes for my farm. I am therefore thanking you for making my project expand more through the irrigation system I am yet to start on my farm. Also, I was able to purchase the foot-pump, although I did not clear all the amount. I had to walk out with the machine plus the pipes so that I can reconnect from the river. Now, I am certain that soon I will be able to satisfy my customers' needs by supplying them with the goods from my farm. Thank you and God bless you abundantly.

Thanks Zidisha for granting me this opportunity to increase my business and improve customer service and for being there for me always. I bought cutting machine and HP 1510 printer which is going a long way in improving my customer service and increasing my profits. thanks a lot. It has increased my earnings by 10 percent and I can say it has improved my service and efficiency by 50 percent. It has also improved my living standards, I know I got a little late in paying my last installments but it's because most payments got a little delayed by some clients but all is well now.

I thank all my lenders through God the Almighty for helping me to raise my first loan. My first loan has helped me in so many ways. A bag of millet used to be 50$ each, so it enabled me to buy 8 bags in addition to 22 bags I used to buy before. I have been able to make a profit of 15$-20$ per bag within a month. Out of the profit I made, I used some for repayment of the loan and some for taking care of my siblings' academic expenses, too. So, sincerely, I thank you very much.

The loan I just finished paying helped me very well in constructing fire belts around the farm as I indicated. It has helped prevent the farm from burn fire which has been a major threat of agriculture over the years. Though the threat of bush fires has been very great this year the construction of these protective belts helped as in protecting the farm against it.
