About Me

I am a married woman aged 37 with four children. I was born in a family of seven, and I am third. I didn't finish school due to financial difficulties and this has led me face hardship in my life and marriage. It is really a tough going more especially when it comes to taking my children to school. Some times my children spend the whole term without going to school. My husband is not working, this also is a contributing factor to the financial difficulties.

My Business

I want to start poultry at a small scale, and this will greatly help relief the great burden on my family in terms of my school going children's fees, and it will help boost my charcoal business.

The first loan has greatly changed the financial status of my family, in the sense that I am able to send my children to school and buy them school uniforms, as well as pay school fees.

I am looking forward to a successful business in my near future. Thanks for the help my lenders rendered to me, it came at the right time.

Loan Proposal

The loan I have applied I will buy and use it as follows:

1. Bags of charcoal = $40
2. Transport = $10

The profit from this business will help me greatly to take my children to school and sustain my family.

    Efforts to contact her were not successful as her phones were not reachable. I however called Doctor Sakala the community leader who indicated that the issue is on his table and he didn't ding ways of meeting her in person and help her start the repayments

    Hello dear lenders, I tried to call Mary but her lines are all unreachable. I then called the community leader who indicated that he will physically see her and talk to her.

    I tried to contact Mary Tembo but my calls went unanswered. I then called Bertha who invited her to join zidisha, she will make a follow up physically to ascertain why she has not been paying. I further on spoke to her husband who also indicated that he will speak to her. I will provide feedback once these people contact me

    Dear lenders, sorry for the delay in repaying my loan according to the instalments schedule, this was so due to the lose we had recently. I lost my auntie, and I had to use part of the money for business at the funeral. So after recovery from the lose, I have decided to repay the balance of my loan in full. Thanks for your understanding.
