Zidisha is indeed a platform that really promotes entrepreneurship. The funds I received were used to add stock and part of the amount to repair the bike which had been down for sometime. I can now easily supply my clients with ease thus prompt delivery of goods. I looking forward to growing with zidisha to a level of expanding more branches of the business and having at least Toyota fielder car to ease transportation from the farm to the market, which will ensure more efficiency in movement and delivery of goods irrespective of the weather (rainy which normally makes delivery on the bike difficult) but with the fielder, delivery will be efficient. Thank you

Hello My supporters, with the funds I received from Zidisha I was able to pay some of the community members to help me dig these two compost manure pit, sice my compound has a lot of trees, whenever I do cleaning, instead of burning the leaves poluting the environment I will be able to dump them here together with the cow dung to decompose so that I will be able to apply in my farm to boost crop yield. Part of the funds I will still pay those helped me dig a compost manure pit to help ferry cows dung from where I was previously dumping to these pits. Thank you once again.! comment image

With your love and support have been able to purchase essential needs for milk production and of course, the production is higher than before. Also looking foward in future to purchase two dairy cows as my limits grows, one at 250,000 kenya shilling, and I see it possible with this great support and love you show me..!

Since I received my first loan from Zidisha, business operations have been going on well and smooth. I discovered that I can do lots of activities in my Cyber for the local community. Nowadays I even print words on Reflectors, and my customers are very supportive as they frequently come back and order more. I have made profits to enable me repay Zidisha loan smoothly, as I sustain my family's basic needs. Am now creating bigger goals for my business. There is a very large market gap, and the way I have seen a future projection, Apollo Cyber and Gas Solutions is here to meet the needs of my clients. The future is bright, and with more support from Zidisha, I believe I will achieve more. comment image

Back when I was running a fish business, the funds really got me through a rough patch when steep fishing licenses caused a spike in the fish prices. Business got worse during the COVID-19 pandemic and I eventually closed shop. Thankfully, with the little profit saved, I got internet and found a writing opportunity with a reliable client and offset my loan. Dunno know what I'd have gone through without your help. Thanks a bunch!

Through the profits generated, I have been able to think smarter and I was able to print and design such labels for my Church Community, who are always coming to my Cyber every weekend for print services. Printing out such proffessional outstanding Name tags positions my Cyber Business as a hub for growth, innovation and creativity. I love what am doing, I love how the business is flourishing, and am grateful to Zidisha for such great opportunities! comment image

We have embarked on carrot farming and our supplies are transported to various towns. This farming of carrots has provided casual jobs to locals and feed animals and humans. In return we boost the quality with growing our carrots organically to enable us pass the test for the regional markets as an export commodity

I am very grateful to Rahmat for the support i received through Zidisha. With the funds, I was able to purchase dairy meal, a cow salt, which already helped improve my dairy farming activities. The dairy meal and cow salt are supporting the health and productivity of my cow, leading to better milk production and overall well being. This is an important step toward increasing my income and improving my livelihood. Looking a head, I am planning to expand my project by adding two more dairy cows in the future. This will help me grow dairy business and achieve greater stability. Thank you Rahmat, for your generous support and believing in my journey.
