"Not to hurt our humble brethren, the [other] animals, is our first duty to them, but to stop there is not enough. We have a higher mission: to be of service to them whenever they require it. If you have [humans] who will exclude any of God’s creatures from the shelter of compassion... you will have [humans] who will deal likewise with other [humans]." -St. Francis of Assisi

True your sentiments here. It is estimated that half of world population live in Cities & Urban Areas. By 2050, this may go 75%.

And this shall put immense pressure on demand for Food in Urban Areas and cities.

Growing your own food has many socioeconomic, climatic and psychological benefits.

It's our wish to partner with Urban households and Urban communities to strengthen urban food systems as way of ending extreme hunger, malnutrition and extreme poverty.

Our business model promotes the adoption of simple Urban Farming Technologies but with high food productivity.

We shall prosper...

I watched your video, Nixon. This is really great work you're doing!

Pandemic or no pandemic, this is the way of the future, to help solve the problem of food insecurity all over the world, especially since the global human population still is growing exponentially (please see my page, and no "TLDR" allowed, lol). Anyway, I wish that whoever planted the trees in my yard, decades ago, had planted food-bearing trees instead of other types of trees. I have grown food in large pots on homemade caddies on my backyard patio, though, and also in the ground in my backyard. I used to do this every year, but it's become more challenging with the effects of climate change: unpredictable and sometimes very wildly fluctuating temperatures to extremes of both very hot and very cold, sometimes in only twenty-four hours or less, so I think a greenhouse probably would be helpful. Anyway, even some edible plants, such as herbs, can be grown in pots inside the house. Everything helps. :)

Thank you for doing the important work you're doing and also for teaching others, as well.

I just saw a reference to Isaiah 66:15-24 on another borrower's page tonight (morning where you are), so I looked it up: www.dbcme.org/Isaiah-6615-2... [Isaiah-6615-24-the-goal-of-life/].

Paraphrasing, the goal of life is for all of us to find our way back to God.

I would say that small-scale growing of food locally is one of the ways we do that. (Humans surely will be judged with terrible disappointment for the sin, among our many other sins, of our ungodly large-scale agribusiness that we as a species have been engaging in, never intended by God, causing terrible harm to the Earth and to our own health and to the health of other species, too, if we think about it.)

Thank you, again, for teaching others how to do small-scale vegetable farming.

Best wishes, Nixon, and please stay safe. :)

I used these fund to buy farm inputs and thank you

God bless you Mr Felix and madam Ophelia

my current loan has enabled me purchased machine cut stones stuck below, which I supplied to the government institutions for a better rate per PC, which has boosted my business capital by 60%
my profit from this supply has also enabled me to pay school fees to my daughter who joined the university as well as two orphans who also joined form one (O- level )respectively .

Hi, thanks for funding my project. The funds will help me create a new Ep where I will rent some editing plugins, advertise the release and as well pay for distribution. The funds will help to easen the whole project. Thanks for funding me. Don't forget to share the same good light with others. Stay safe.

May your business continue to grow

I thank you Lenders/ Zidisha Team for the support you have accorded me over the years.
My last loan was of great help in our Rehab/Counseling Centre.

We are also working with the community on matters drugs and alcohol abuse awareness and prevention.
With the new loan, I will enhance a side business that will be of support to the Counselling Centre.

Thank you very much.

How are you good people? It's my hope you are fine and keeping on well. I have been able to continue with my projects well. The rabbits are increasing on well. Currently I have 3 mothers with their own kits. The seedlings are also prospering on well although the harsh weather is deterring customers to buy the seedlings for planting since there is little or no rain at all. But I have seen some good improvements in the farm.

Thanks so much for your support. Its indeed an awesome feeling ..

The previous loan, part was use to established new company on herbal cream, and herbal tonic for men, payment on previous delayed due to this new product, it send me to rural area due to get more herbs to produce more..

This platform has really helped me a lot. My business is doing better. Thanks so much

We purchased 10 packets Certified Seeds, 1,000 Nursery Seedlings and 20units of Organic Fertilizers for onward sale to the newly recruited farmers.

This shall allow farmers to commence planting and production of vegetables immediately and start harvesting from the third week. This shall allow them have own food for their households while at the same time get extra income from the sale of the produce to neighbours

This shall contribute to our growth through sale of farm inputs to the urban farmers whom are our primary customers

I am wishing you well, Priscilla. Best wishes from California. All the best, Jim

Hi Priscilla, You're more than welcome. I hope that it is beneficial to you.

Hello Jim and Franmiguel, thank you very much for supporting me again. I appreciate your trust in me and your going out of your way to investing in me to grow. I’m going to use the funds for the exact purpose, to purchase more food stuff for an increasing demand. Best wishes to you.
