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. comment image

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. comment image

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!

Hello zidisha. Am glad to share some of achievements set on a three weeks objectives plan. I bought a digital camera and additional stock from the profits realized. I believe that an asset is a working tool that ploughs back to the income statement.
