    Am planning to buy another big fish cage enough to hold again 2000 post fingerlings. This will help me have enough capacity to hold all the fingerlings I had earlier invested on. I really appreciate this assistance dear lenders

    I was sick some time back but since I recovered I've been able to do farming more than before and now I'm harvesting

    It was very difficult to manage my farming activities empty handed and when I learned about Zidisha I have been having easiest time to buy farm inputs and equipment from the loan they have been giving me. Thanks my team!!

    I had a chronic disease that made me slow my payment. I took months in hospital to recover and right now am back on my feet and steadily farming. Am planning to finish my loan before next month after harvesting
