Project Updates

Thank you for accepting to led to my project. My husband and I are going to use the funds in starting a hardware shop business through combined efforts within the outskirts of Nairobi as we continue on working on improving the family income. This will definitely take us as a family a step ahead, because increased income means better lives for not only us as a family but also those we are going to employ in helping to run the business as well the community around us.

Thank you all for accepting to fund my project. I need this loan to enable me connect electricity to my residential house and also do the kitchen cupboards and bedrooms wardrobes fittings. My intention is to complete the house soonest possible so as we can do away with paying rent which is consuming most of the family income. After moving into the house the amount we have been paying as rent will be released to grow the family business which will intern generate more income to the family helping us plan for a family vacation at least once or twice in a year.

Good morning to you all my financiers, am really grateful to you all for enabling this project to be realized. As I had stated during the initial application, I will use the monies to identify and hire an assistant to support my business and home since we have a little baby two years old. This will help both the business and my family to increase productivity by having an extra workforce and also create some free time to spend as a family which I treasure. Once again am very grateful for the aid and I wish you all well in your different endeavors. Regards and blessings.
