One day when i write my success story, Zidisha will be in the first line. This community has been a part of me since day one. I started by working for someone and now i have my own place, all thanks to Zindisha for holding me through. With my previous loan i was able to start sellling ex-uk laptops especially to college students who were my target market. I started off with a stock of 3 laptops and right now its up to 7. I have been re-investing most of my profits and before the end of the year i am expecting go go even further, atleast a stock of 11 laptops. Thank you all and God bless..

Thanks Roy. In my line of work, time is of essence and the faster I serve my customers the better for my income. in so saying, the first loan allowed me to have some stock so that I don't have to rush to the spare store every time I have a customer. this has made it possible for me to serve more customers daily than before in-turn improving my income.

It was a great success with my previous loan. I got to add additional stock for my business which gave fresh and a good new look to it. Customers get drawn by the 'look' of a business.

I thank the lenders so much for the previous loan they offered me. With the loan, I was able to buy some few sandals that I sold. This gave me some capital and more importantly widened my business knowledge. I therefore made a temporal wooden skeleton structure that I display some few sandals. This gave me the opportunity of displaying to people who did not know the business I was into. Once again I really thank you.

Dear lender, I inform you that the business is increasing, the house that I use as shops increasingly no longer possible to accommodate the goods, with the narrowness of my place so this time I was building a house at the back of the store so I could store expanded again. Venture capital loan that I use had been providing tremendous change, from the sale of this as well, I had dared to build a separate house that had been home that I occupy as well as shops. And I am also grateful that these loans are very useful in my business continuity. These loans are very helpful to me so that I more motivated in trying, I hope the lender continues to give credence to me, because my goal was to continue to develop a business that is a source of revenue and income for my family, I am committed to continue to maintain the trust of lenders ,

Through the profits I pay my brothers university fees without straining. My business bills are also paid easily. My family get food easily, we don't strain so much as we used to.

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 know no place to look for help but 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. since most people do enjoy goat meat in about a year time like this festive occasion i will end 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.
