Project Updates

Hello my lovely lenders, thanks once again. Your loan is keeping me smiling in my business and in my Education. BLESS YOU.

Below is the stock I added using the Zidisha loan. Am a proud business lady...

Hi Lenders,
I feel privileged to let you know that my business in still averagely performing. Since the inspection is yet to be done, I am still offering both soft and hard drinks. Anyway my plan was to incorporate the restaurant section to increase my earnings but so far the County Government is yet to do its part. All the same I can’t complain so much since I am able to make something out of what I already have and therefore even if the government delays am assured of making some profit still.

After the challenges I had recently, we attended our friend’s wedding ceremony with my wife and we had some fun.

Thank you for standing with us by funding our projects through the loans you give to us.

John Mariga.

zidisha have really enabled me meet my customers demand hence increasing by by about 10% weekly. thanks

Back To School! It was joy as one of my daughter's, Phoebe, reported back to school yesterday Monday, after being out for several weeks due to school fees. I would want to sincerely thank Zidisha family and the generous lenders who made this possible. With the first loan that was disbursed a day ago, I managed to pay part of her pending school fees arrears and all of us as a family were very grateful. Am positive that I will be able to secure the fee balance for both her and the elder sister too. I seek your continued support towards this end. God bless you all.

I wish to thank lenders,for funding my previous loan i note that through hiring of the motorbike monthly i was able to cover the market widely and in three months i have been able to build a reasonable client base,With now the contacts of clients in my database my marketing activities has become so easy & cost effective since i mostly use the database to do telemarketing before meeting the customers physically.I wish to inform the lenders that i have also been able to m make savings towards buying a motorbike for my business.I have already identified the motor bike from the seller & am awaiting clearance top up from my bank

I don't really know how to express myself to reflect how exactly I feel after my loan has been funded. I wish my lenders could see me or I can send a video message for them to really see me well. I am highly grateful to you, my lenders. I had done all feasibility studies for my business but did not know where to get the funds. This is the happiest day in my life. I will use the money exactly as I said in my loan application and will never disappoint them. I will also use this platform to personally thank Roy for his care and advise. Roy, God richly bless and continue to exalt you. Thank you.

WoW! By God's grace I've been able to fully repay my loan and maintained an on-time repayment of 100 percent. Thanks so much my lenders, Mr Roger Wang, Mr Bjorn and Mr Dan Buthler for financing my first loan.

I've been working on the website of a fast growing company in Ghana. It's been so challenging, and I'm learning great stuffs working on their site. I'm building my portfolio as well. I'm developing the site for free, yes free. It wasn't easy to win this contract but things have gone well. I know my firm is going to go very far after building an amazing platform for them. It'll pay later.

They've been adding and changing stuff. The site is not yet live and I'd gladly share it with you upon completion. I have to report to work too... and even working on my business site as well. Just left with a few polishes to take it live. Well, I am learning to work under pressure and improving my skill set.

Once again, thanks a lot to the entire Zidisha crew and it's Lenders. We're very grateful to God for your life.

God richly bless you!

I managed to purchase another set of my cows,now i have a very healthy and lovely cows so far they are three in number and one is pregnant. The earnings have not increased yet but i know by December i will be milking two of them. I appreciate the kind of support you have given me all along.

I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to all the zidisha lenders for their Godly assistance granted me in times of need. Where i had no place to look for help,zidisha held my hand to be on my feet again by giving me loan to buy feed , roofing sheets, cement and also helping me to buy goats to add to my livestock production.
Fortunately one of my goats has given birth to twins and the other is also pregnant. i will earn big income to pay my loan.
In addition will employ two guys to assist me in my livestock production.
Now in the farms my family(sister and grand mum ) is helping me
Thanks a lot.

I have successfully completed paying my last loan despite the challenges I faced. However, I can honestly say that I am looking forward to the results of my investment. With the profit from the stock I purchased, I have managed to upgrade my computer accessories to up to date keyboards and computer mouses.

I have also managed to get a bigger shop and I hope I can manage to fill the extra space with more computers and hopefully purchase computer accessories for resale.

Thanks very much to lender for the support granted me in the previous loan. By the grace of God, I was able to invest it and that business is greatly booming. My customer base has increased and now i am getting more profit from it I am really grateful.I hope that my second loan will also be funded. This is all thanks to the almighty God and the lenders of Zidisha.

My extreme gratitude to Andy Fletcher and Paul Graham for making my loan possible.Zidisha has been a real revelation and many people I talked to about Zidisha didn't believe there was any such thing. Processing loans in Ghana is so difficult and demanding and I hope many money lenders in Ghana would take a cue from Zidisha so that many people can access their loans more easily and also adopt Zidisha repayment methods that make repairment so easy and flexible. I will always be grateful to Zidisha and its community of lenders.

Hello lenders,
