The facility has for toilets for ladies and three for gents. This is near a very busy bus stop.
I need money for painting and carpentry job to fix doors to the toilets , I have started painting and applied base paint . I need to apply final Colt.

During the last project, i planted some vegetables in a small garden. This has helped lower expenses in the family's budget. The family is healthier too.

we planted some trees on the 14th of July 2023. this are students from my form two Geography class. they were so happy to start the process of adding the vegetation cover of our school.

I am grateful for the help I received as I was able to get a crate of egg and a quarter bag of flour which went a long way in making production easier for me. I was able to comfortably fulfill customers orders without the stress of carrying out many trips to the market.

Thank you so much for funding my project. It will help me purchase pawpaw seedlings, organic manure and cater for labor. This will be beneficial in setting up my organic food forest that will ensure we produce healthy food for my family and my neighbors.

Dear Lenders
I thank God that i have finished paying the loan. I also thank you my lenders for bearing with with even when the going was so tough for me. May God bless you.
I used the loan to pay university fee for a needy boy. He is doing well and he is in his 2nd year now. God bless you all

Thank you so much for supporting me in my past project. I started an organic farm where I grow organic vegetables and tamarillo fruits. This has taught me a lot about organic farming as I had to research on how to deal with various challenges like pests. It has been an exciting journey and I'm looking forward to harvesting the fruits in a few months as I even add more crops. I want to play an active role in producing healthy food for my neighbors.

I want to take this opportunity to really thank my supporters for the funds I recieved. I am going to buy a tank for rain water harvesting so that our pupils can drink clean water. This will help reduce water bone diseases and as a result performance will improve greatly. Be blessed so much.

Am very excited to update the community that we are progressing very well. The seeds we planted with the media we borrowed money to buy have germinated well. We have nearly 10,000 seedlings that are a week old. We have about 3 weeks to transplanting these seedlings in the field and planting a second phase of 10000 more seedlings in the nursery.
The 50 kg media we bought will help us propagate over 30,000 seedlings in 3 phases each 4 weeks apart. This means that we shall have a consistent production from our farm.

Please see photos below.

The completed projects really made a great difference in my household, I had a lot of food for my family ,i sold in cash and got a lot of profits that helped me pay school fees for my children promptly. I also bought new generator for irrigation.

My previous loan helped me acquire some electronics for my Airbnb making it more appealing to my clients. I have therefore maintained a 95% booking and increased my profits.

Hi backers, the previous disbursement I used to pay for nine bags of cement that I used in plastering my house. in so doing I was able to create employment.

I hope to buy a crate of eggs and a quarter bag of flour as this will help prevent me from frequent visits to the market and also help me produce for some time before having to restock. Thank you for making this possible.

I will buy all the materials needed for my DIY Furniture Project. Doing this is going to save a lot of money and time because instead of going to the materials market four to five times in a month is going to be just once in a month which is so helpful to me and my workshop. And I will use this opportunity to thank my lenders and say I'm so grateful thank you so much

I want to take this opportunity to say a very big thank you to all the members who funded my project. I am going to buy a water storage tank for rain water harvesting.
Our school children will drink clean water and be healthy. This will help them perform better which will lead to the growth and development of the school.
To my funders, you have made this project become a reality. Thank you once more and may God bless you all.

From the first application, I purchased Tyre Accessories (tubeless valves) for sale at the workshop.

This has really helped me from losing revenue because we used to send customers to purchase the tubeless valves from other automotive shops, this has helped at improving my cash flow.

I used part of the earnings to support and fund other entrepreneurs through part it forward impact which enabled me to increase my contribution.

Once my income is consolidated it enable to me to fund my children as they complete their university education.

I will now buy more sugar cane for my crusher to increase my jaggery production. This will inturn help in increasing my profitability. I believe this will improve the livelihood of my family and community as a whole.

I therefore want to sincerely those who funded my project. I am really humbled for the sacrifice you have made to make my dream a reality. Thank you a lot and may God bless you abundantly.

Hello,have been quiet for a while but still doing great, my business is wow,I bought a motorcycle,doing bakery job with it, supplying and distributing my products to wholesales,and shops

I hereby send my sincere gratitude for everyone who has funded my project. May you be richly blessed. May your baskets never run dry.
The finances will help me restock various beauty products in the salon. Therefore,this will increase my clientele base due to availability of products to offer my services. I will also be able to buy an extra blow drier so that we are able to serve more than on client at a time. Once our services are improved I believe I will get more referrals from our current clients. At the end of the day more opportunities will be created for hairdressers to be able to offer services at our salon. Thank you once again for your support.

Through Zidisha my business has grown from Mama mboga to grocery. Zidisha has helped me pay university fee for my daughter and now I still want to expand my business further. Zidisha is real.

Hello my supporters. I am very grateful to you all for the support you gave for my last project. The project was planting maize for the school lunch program. The maize farm is doing very well and with your support we expect a bumper harvest. This is going to make a big difference to the well being of these children and the surplus of maize will be sold for the development of the school. Infact since I joined the Zidisha family I have seen a big change in the school in terms of development. I am very grateful to the Zidisha Team who came up with the idea of global fundraising. The picture is the maize farm at present. The harvest will be late July or early August.

Thanks so much, and i highly appreciate your assistance. I purchased the pump and have started the project and indeed the pump is of great help.
Again Thanks.

Today, 8th June 2023, we bought 50kg of Peatmoss (the medium that we use in our green house to propagate seedlings). We raised $58 from our most recent funding application and this helped us buy the medium. We shall propagate 34,000 cabbage seedlings in four monthly phases, all of which shall be transplanted in our farm.

In the first picture, we have the Peatmoss medium that we bought.

In the second picture below my team and I are setting up drip lines on one of the blocks in our farm.

We shall also post photos and videos of the propagation process here and o our website, Facebook and Instagram pages.

Thank you for funding my project. Your support will go along way to help me purchase the following items; feeding troughs,watering troughs, trays, hatchers and to expand the housing. This will help me to realise my annual goal of doubling my produce output as well as help me get professional advice on best rearing practices.
Thank you for coming through at the hour of need and for making my project possible. Its my humble prayer to grow in my business venrure and assist others too.

Supporting you because you’re a parent! Take care of your baby boy.

Dear Zidisha,

This is my 5th loan application and you have walked with me in maintaining my small chicken farm especially in the economic crunch being faced in my country. I wish to thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Hello,
My name is Joseph and am a member of the Zidisha community. I've benefited a great deal from 3 past and these helped me expand my transport business. I had several challenges to get through but the funding from Zidisha helped me ensure my operations were not interrupted. Eventually I sold the business and invested in a farm. My team and I grow a wide range of vegetables which we sell through our online platform and make home deliveries to our customers. This innovative way if selling directly to our customers ensures our customers get the best value for their money in terms of quality of groceries and the price and time at which they get them. Please check out out website, www.lusoihillfarm.com or visit and follow our Facebook,Instagram and LinkedIn pages (lusoihillfarm) to see our great journey.
