Direct P2P lending across the international wealth divide.
Zidisha is the world's first direct peer-to-peer lending service to bridge the international wealth divide, allowing individuals worldwide to lend to and communicate with borrowers in developing countries without local intermediaries. The direct connection creates better transparency, more profit for the entrepreneurs and lenders, and greater wealth creation for the world's poorest communities. We've been featured in numerous press and media for our groundbreaking work in using internet and mobile phone technologies to connect entrepreneurs in some of the world's most isolated and impoverished places with the international peer-to-peer lending market.
Zidisha enables direct crowdfunding for entrepreneurs in developing countries, promoting direct communication and reinvestment of funds by backers. It positions itself as transparent philanthropy with a focus on individual entrepreneurs and impact tracking.
Backers browse and choose individual entrepreneur projects, contribute any amount, and receive updates and stories from the entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs share their progress and photos, and upon project completion, funds are reinvested into new projects. The platform emphasizes direct communication between backers and entrepreneurs and transparent funding flows.
Who it’s for: Individuals and foundations interested in direct, transparent philanthropy and impact-driven giving to entrepreneurs in developing countries.
Established nonprofit platform with long-running operations (founded 2009) and measurable fundraising totals; growth indicators include number of life-changing projects enabled and total amount raised.
We let you crowdfund and interact directly with remarkable entrepreneurs in developing countries.
Zidisha enables crowdfunded investment in small businesses in Africa and Asia by allowing backers to fund entrepreneurs’ projects directly and interact via updates and media; entrepreneurs pay it forward by funding other entrepreneurs, creating a recycled impact model.
