I was able to get a CPU, ex UK dual core, 320GB ram at sh. 10,000. I had a monitor already. I also got a deal with Zuku internet providers which is cheaper and faster. My outsourcing job has already commenced. I wish to add another computer so that I can start a movie selling business on the side.

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.

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 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 comment image

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

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. comment image

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.
