I am a woman who runs a bamboo craft business in a village in Jepara, Indonesia. I am currently fully responsible for my family, which includes two toddlers. I trade in traditional markets every day, selling my bamboo crafts, while my husband helps me transport them and deliver them to the market. Every day, I sell bamboo crafts from morning to evening, and at night, I make bamboo crafts with my husband's help. My hope in this life is for my family's financial well-being to improve, ensuring that my children can complete their education financially in the future.
This bamboo craft business is a tradition passed down from my grandmother, and I continue it since my grandmother passed away. I've been developing this business since before I was married and still manage it to this day. In 2020, I started cultivating bamboo seedlings on land inherited from my parents, so I don't buy bamboo craft materials from middlemen, but rather source them directly from my 500-square-meter bamboo garden. As a bamboo craftsman, I still need capital to develop my bamboo garden, including the provision of semi-modern cutting tools to support my future business. Through Zidisha, I'm trying to create a project proposal on developing bamboo cultivation and bamboo crafts with the goal of strengthening my financial position and increasing income for my family. As the best peer-to-peer operating in Indonesia, I believe Zidisha can change my life in the future by facilitating sharing in the small-scale business world with entrepreneurs in developed countries globally. I will also continuously update my business progress and prioritize information and transparency in reporting my efforts to Zidisha. My business analysis is that with this first loan, I will purchase semi-modern bamboo cutting tools to speed up my work processes. Thank you, Zidisha, for helping transform my family's financial life.
Through the peer-to-peer platform Zidisha, I applied for a loan to purchase a bamboo cutting knife. This tool will speed up my bamboo cutting process, reduce labor costs, and reduce shrinkage, thus saving money.
