I propose to buying the new drip pipes, pesticides and herbicides for my maize farming at the farms. Following the recent attacks of army worms at the maize fields, maize crop has been destroyed by the break out of insects and are being eaten up, hence there is urgent need for me to buy the pesticides and the herbicides to protect the maize crop from being further destroyed by these insects in the maize fields. However, once these pesticides are bought, I will have a good maize crop production for sale and therefore ensure food security for the family and general public at large. Thank you very my backers am so greatful and God bless you.

Greetings to our funders. Thank you very much for the support that has helped our school start a dairy farming project through the purchase of one female cow in our last project. We plan to have at least three female cows. We now want to purchase the second female cow at an estimated cost of kes 70,000. The loan will be repaid with money from our school bakery and maize farming projects since the milk production will not be immediate.

I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude for the financial support provided for my irrigation project. Thanks to your funding, I have successfully completed the project, which has significantly transformed my agricultural practices. The installation of the irrigation system has not only enhanced my farm's productivity but also created employment opportunities for local community members. I have employed an individual to manage and maintain the irrigation infrastructure, contributing to local economic development. Your support has been instrumental in making this project a success, and I am deeply appreciative of your trust and investment in my vision. Thank you once again for your invaluable assistance.

The average cost of a new wheelchair is between $500 and $1,500, but it really depends upon what kind of wheelchair you're shopping for so like the one I will purchase here in Zambia the funds will be able to do. You've made a huge difference impact on my life. Thank you so much. Please keep supporting me even on my coming projects!!

Am applying for this funds to drill the borewell at the farming site and the gardening tools to be helping me in cultivating the land. For 2023 to 2024, rain has been a great challenge hence most crop dried up due inadequate rain. Hence the borewell will benefit me a lot by providing adequate water to the crops and as for the gardening tools, will benefit me by cultivating the land by creating more necessary beds for vegetable crops as demand in increasing from my customers whom I supply these vegetables. Currently my turn over profits is at ZMW 20,000 and once I drill a borewell, I will increase the production of vegetables to meet the demand from the customers. Thank you so much my lenders for supporting me.

Hi Zidisha support team, I want to appreciate your support. My previous project funds for my Mwajjemba Chickens Project helped a huge step. The season has been too rainy, cold and unavailable for the survival of my chickens. However, through the funds I received I managed to do the necessary renovations, got medications and source of warmth for the birds. The birds are okay and preparing to start laying eggs now.

I was able to expand my cereal stock, meet the growing demand and expand my customer base. I am now seeking your support again for my next venture, which aims to build on the success of the cereal project. I plan to expand the project to other cereals, leveraging the knowledge and experience gained. This new product will allow me to cater for the growing demand giving customers options. With your continued support, I am confident that this project will grow and I will also be back here to offer the same support I have received through ZIDISHA

My Dear Lenders. Am really amazed by your support towards this project of enabling me to pass my technical skills to young youths in my community. I will purchase training tools such as Screw driver sets, Spanners, Drilling tools, PPR pipe Welding machines, Assorted Pliers, Multimeters, Pipe wrenches, Cable strippers, Crimping tools and Soldering guns. Am planning of training first ten youths before the year ends. In three months a student should be able to carry out minor repairs like lamp and switches replacement and earn something. In 6ix to seven months I will be giving them full installation jobs for them to earn a living. This project is basically a mission for me giving back to the community. Thank you very much my dear Lenders and Backers.

This is to present my sincere gratitude to the Zidisha family, especially those who funded my project of purchasing tree seedlings. The first phase of planting grevillea seedlings is done and I look forward raising additional funds for more seedlings for my farm here in Bondo. This project will not only make an economic difference to my life but also provide positive environmental impact to future generations. My ambition is to develop a 1000 tree forest on my land.

I am so delighted to receive a message that my project which was posted the other day has been fully funded. As I had explained earlier on the funds on this project is to facilitate my son's tuition fees including clearing last term's arrears upon topping up with what I have. This will help me avoid my son being send home by the school authorities from time to time at the same time it will give me ample time and peace of mind to look for a way to get other sources of money, It may be little but the crucial part of it is now done. I am really so much grateful and even lack words to express my gratitude to everybody who made this project successful. I particularly thank Mr. Stephen who fully funded this project and tell him that he is blessed beyond borders and may God give you more since you are so much philanthropic and for being with a big heart to even assist those whom you even don't know! I promise to utilize the same as promised and pay back in time sir, thank you so much and be blessed more! I also do not forget the admins in this platform and the all of Zidisha fraternity for your effort to connect people especially with common interest through this platform and would like to say ' asanteni sana, mungu azidishe kunufaisha nyinyi kila wakati'. Thanks all and may God bless you! Yours sincerely Benard Mutai

My tomato business is going well so far, I have a few customers but because it's still something new in the market, it's not easy to convince people who actually believe in their own conclusion. One-day I woke up and I was a diabetic patient, you know how doctors give a list of dos and cons, I tried blended tomatoes but my food still didn't taste well, then an idea popped up and after my first trial, I never stopped and mostly made it for my own use, but I realized it can't benefit everyone especially those with medical conditions who need to eat simple meals. My only challenge is getting the right type of tomatoes, but I'm working on the solution which I believe I'll soon achieve it through your help, thanks again for your help. Zidisha has given me a reason to keep dreaming and working towards any impossible projects I have in mind, you are truly your brothers keeper. Each and everyone of you have made my dream come true. Thank you
