Dear Lenders,

I had the pleasure of meeting with Michael yesterday and after a lengthy misunderstanding with a trotro conductor, I eventually made it to take a look around NAKWES Group’s office in Legon, Accra, near the University of Accra campus.

Six months ago, Michael and four of his friends were all working separately for IT and ICT companies when they got together and decided to address two issues affecting Accra:

1. Ghana has one of the highest youth unemployment rates in the world – 25.6% in 2012 - compared to a global average of 12.6% .
2. There was no laptop and electronic repair service near the University of Ghana, requiring students to make a time-consuming and costly trip to the inner city to service their computers.

Michael is an entrepreneur at his core – as early as grade school he could recognize and capitalize on a market demand. So it’s no surprise that he found himself and his friends starting up their own company in response to the problems faced by their community.

And so, NAKWES (their name from the first letter of each founder’s surname) was born. NAKWES offers laptop and mobile phone repair as well as IT training and media classes that aim to help graduating secondary students pass their tertiary exams. They also recently started their NAKWES College branch, offering a three-month program of media and computer courses for adults. The College will be graduating its first class of 25 students this month.

Michael’s use of Zidisha loans has been helpful in allowing for the purchase of laptop accessories and tools, but he is really excited to continue borrowing and increase his credit limit. NAKWES is looking into the business of importing laptops for resale in order to support their growing education initiatives and hopes Zidisha will be a key factor in making this happen.

Again, I’m so grateful that Michael and the NAKWES team took time out of their busy work day to show me around. The business is promising, especially for one just six months old, and I’m very excited to seeing how the company grows. The team appreciates the support of you, Zidisha lenders, and looks forward to continuing this relationship!

Dear lenders,

my name is Roberta and I am the Zidisha Country Coordinator for Ghana, I just wanted to inform you about the reason for the delay in disbursing the loan to Mr Kwarteng, one week after the date in which the loan was fully funded.

In Ghana, we use the MTN Mobile Money platform to send the loans to our borrowers. This requires the borrower to be subscribed to the Mobile Money service and Mr Kwarteng still have to subscribe.

Mr Kwarteng, I communicated to you more than a week ago about the necessity to be a Mobile Money subscriber to be able to receive your Zidisha loan. Please, inform me when you have completed registration.

Best regards,

Roberta
