hallo Kendra.thank you so much for your kind words of encouragement. I am working hard to achieve my best so I can use the profits to go back to school and finish my degree thank you.

My previous loan was so timely. I was able to meet my clients orders so timely, and i got some referral to new clients. This is a very big boost to my business..
I generated enough profit which was enough to pay for this loan, I was able to do for my children school shopping and my standard of living has improved.

First I would like to heartily thank you all my lenders for agreeing to support me on my initiative to buy a second hand photocopy machine and because of your kind gesture I have managed to secure one. Am glad since am able to use my machine to make photocopies for several people especially during weekends too. I also have paid my two installments on time. Thank you very much for you support.

Dear Kundu,
greetings from Seattle, Washington. congratulations to your motor bike business, I'm so glad to hear that you are doing well and sending your siblings to school. For us education was everything, it opened doors to a good life. Keep up your good work. Greetings, Hilde Pfurtscheller

Dear all,
How are you? Hope you all fine and okay.
As I told you before, I have cattering business since year 2000. Thank you God I have many loyal customers.
My customer not only personal but also restaurant. I supply them desserts such as Apple Pie, Spotted Dick, Rollie Pollie Jam, etc. My Apple pie even got good review in Jakarta Restaurant Review
I wish that after I renovate my home I could have production room and storage room.
Below some of my kitchen product. I use brand Mymessy Kitchen and I have advertise it on my Facebook.
Sometimes I visit a group and teach the house wife or any one who wants to learn to cook or bake. For free. Seeing them could make money and help their husband to support the family makes me happy. Mostly I teach them how to make something from left over raw material such as egg white that mostly not use by the Martabak maker ( martabak is one kind of food like pancake). I use it as raw material for cookies, cakes or poodings. And it works. And now the waste have the financial value.
I hope I could do more then this. And have a bigger chance to take them to have more valuable life. And I hope Zidisha could walk along with me.

Warm regards from Pamulang

Salut aimable prêteurs, très heureuse de venir pour une seconde fois aupres de vous pour solliciter votre accompagnement.

Hi. Words aren't enough to express how grateful I am for your support and assistance.. am soo grateful and thankful. God richly bless you. I very much appreciate your making an exception and single-handedly lending me the whole amount. Am going for a Bachelor's degree in Information Technology. We started with C++ programming and that's what we are currently on. I'd appreciate those links very much. Thanks again. I'll repay on time and on schedule. God bless this honorable deed.

Hi we are reminded its best not to lend too much to one person but I have decided to make an exception and lend you the whole amount so you can get the money faster. I had exactly the same problem when I was your age, nearly 2 hours commute to college, driving through traffic, it was so tiring it was hard to concentrate on my mornings first lectures. All the best for your study I hope this gets disbursed fastest. I'd be really interested to know what computer programming languages you chose and may be able to help you with some links

My lenders attached is the photo of the girl she came for fitting for uniforms. She was she had gone playing with friends the whole day..
Her name is SHANNY She will start going to school on Monday..

I have received the donkey i chose,now waiting for a vet to give it some shots.Hope to have a photo of it here soon.Its dry and grain is being sold by fewer people as they hold on to it.In the town demand is increasing and so are the sales.

Today I completed preparing the disused space between my house and my neighbour's wall. I call it the Cherry Tomato Corridor. It is 10 inches deep and almost 4ft wide. The bed is lined with compost and topped with humus-rich soil. It took all morning to lay the rock path. The Cherry tomatoes have successfully germinated in my shed and will be ready for transplanting in slightly over two weeks from today.

I am back to school with all arrears paid.
Thank you to all and sundry who contributed to my my life.
I now have my own laptop out of the loan.

And this is the picture i took last week. I finally could buy more gypsum and cement and also pay the worker. Thanks zidisha. Specially to all my lenders who give me new hope. (Rainer, nicole,PietjeP,magnus_h,Andrew P,PDXLender)

I am now set for the Mid term exams with a good stock of photocopy papers. During this period i do alot of photocopying hence require many photocopy papers.Attached is a picture of the stock.

I just joined Zidisha the other day and I quickly put up a proposal to buy a sewing machine and raw materials since my business deals in leather products. It was not long to be given the loan and I can say that I bought the machine and materials. (See the photo attached)
The qualities of my products are now high compared to the ones I used to make earlier before buying the high quality raw materials.
Everything just happened very fast, immediately I bought the high quality materials I just got an order of 20 motorbike covers to be supplied in Mfangano Island. I was amazed to see the quality of my products. My clients were satisfied beyond their expectation and this has made them to refer their friends who might be in need of leather products to me and thus increased my sales.
Thanks to Zidisha for enabling me get quality raw materials. Now my clients can refer their friends to BEST LEATHER PRODUCTS and without doubt my business is growing.

zidisha your name tells it all my life has been much better than it was. im glad to share that now im seeing blessings. last week my husband got a job and my business is growing from strength to strength. today i am able to take my kids for funfares. as for photos im not able to because my camera is spoilt so as soon as its is fit i will upload a few photos
