This is to inform you that i'm very grateful. I received my loan and I've increased my stock in form of adding more materials and other accessories. since i used to rely solely on customers' stock, i can now boast of a variety of my own since customers can now come to choose from my variety. I am optimistic my sales will increase since now i have variety from which my customers can choose from. I'm giving myself one month from which I'll have realised a difference in form of sales and other achievements. During school holidays, children are all over as in they are up and about. The environment is more noisy because they have all activities going on as in competition in all sorts! Bonding is also essential, as that's the time one can get to know more about the children's well being and shortcomings! They are now back to school. Hoping to keep you posted on all developments!!

Ever since joining Zidisha early this year, I have seen my business grow significantly. This affordable credit is what my business needed to grow and the future looks very bright, thanks for your support. With the previous loan, I was able to buy a knapsack and got a deal to fumigate a commercial building and this opened doors to many such opportunities.

Zidisha has inspired me to belief that I can achieve all my dreams. Initially, I could not afford to repay an installment of $5 per week consistently with ease. Zidisha funding has changed the story. I now envision to be a proprietor of a national/ regional transport company one day. The strategy of reaching this goal is starting by saving part of the profit I get from my current business and requesting my Zidisha lenders for additional funding. I intend to start small in a few months. Your continuous support is requested. Thank you.

Thanks Zidisha for using this platform to change lives of many. The first loan was really of help because I was able to purchase more stocks of hairs and cosmetics. It increased my daily sales from $80-$100. Due to my location demand is on high and my reason for applying again is I want to buy more hand dryers,shampoo and hair conditioner because I have many saloons around me which they keep asking. I hope you grant me this loan. Thanks once again.

Huryyyyy, a very very big thanks to all my lenders for helping in funding my loan. All i have to say is that my the Good Old Lord bless them aboundantly with riches ,good health and long life to be able to do to others like they have done for me.I also promise not to let them down but will use this loan to buy my Thermometers and live saving drugs as said in my loan proposal. The Thermometer as i said allready, will be used to measure temperature of patients who will visit the drugstore before treatment which will help buildup their confidence in me and will draw more patients to me.Also the live saving drugs such as the hypertensive ,diabetes,hepatitis B and C ,Anti malaria drugs ect are on a high demand here now,so i will buy them too and as i start selling them and treating one or two patients they themselvs will broadcast it outside there for me. which in all will help increase my income revenue or get more profits in no time.Thanks to my lenders for this wounderful loan.

Dear Lenders, Am extremely happy with zidisha as far as my education is concerned,i recently got a promotion from my manager after he saw university registration documents in my employment file,after graduating from college with a higher diploma in media studies,i proceeded to register for a degree in the same field,i think this motivation to sharpen my skills prompted the manager to reward me with promotion,it would not have been possible without the assistance of zidisha,i did not encounter any financial huddles and to cap it all am servicing my loan well,to make it interesting am sure i will be funded again after finishing the current loan......what a smooth ride with zidisha..may zidisha live and thrive for generations and generations,thanks.
