New building and computers & UPS back-up, for my training centre

Dear Zidisha Team and Lenders,

I hereby again THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. You have been extremely supportive through my difficult time. I am blessed to have people like you. I don’t have anything to say that will have more impact than what you have done for me; you mean a lot to me. A heartfelt thank you for all the things you do. You are the most generous people and I appreciate your love and support that you always show to me, and I will forever be grateful, and won't forget. This platform really opened a great chance for me to find everything easily for my business and for me personally. It also has created a great chance for having good friends. Also, I want to thank you for not being angry with me about the rescheduling that I had to do because of resolving the issue about my plot with the Town Planning Officer (TPO). May God reward you ALL. This loan will be paid.


THE BENEFITS OF MY LOAN

Please, I want to share with you my progress, and let you know what I used my loan for. The loan that you gave me helped me to successfully settle everything regarding my plot, between me and the Town Planning Officer (TPO). Now, I have every access to put up my own building for my ICT School on plot number BK 131. If not for the Zidisha loan, it would have been so difficult for me to settle everything regarding my plot, because the money that was demanded from me was not easy to come by. If not for the Zidisha loan, it would have been so difficult for me to buy computers for my students. It would have been so difficult for me to provide a comfortable place for my students to learn. It also would have been so difficult for me to help support my two nephews, paying their school fees. But, as I have you, I am not going to lack for anything, anymore. I believe it is the Lord Almighty who sent you to us. Stay blessed!
