I don't know why people think that accessing money to start your own business should be difficult in some parts of Africa. Starting a business is all about providing solutions to problems. It is in this direction that Julia Kurnia established Zidisha. Zidisha was established to help entrepreneurs in the developing countries to expand their businesses. Zidisha is a Swahili word which means "to expand". I have introduced it to some friends already, but most of them have a perception that money should be difficult to come by and not this easy. My question is, why do we want to make the world a better place? Things around us are changing each day, so there is a possibility that accessing money can be easy at a point in time. Zidisha makes it possible to communicate with your lenders and they even provide support. How many banks have time to communicate with borrowers and provide support? Zidisha does not need any collateral before they publish your loan application to be funded by lenders. Zidisha is there to connect lenders and burrowers, with an interest rate of 5% to cover transfer cost. Log on to www.zidisha.org and learn more about what it is doing in the lives of others. I don't want to keep the Good news away from you.
