Thanks to God for today I was able to make good sales of my goods (roasted peanuts) and I dedicated all my profits to paying the loan. I was able to pay KES 1800 which have never paid at once before. The peanut business has supported my garden project very well because for it was not of it I would not be paying the loan on time. I look forward on making more investments. Thank you Zidisha for supplementing my initial capital in all my businesses. May God bless you all. Last but not the least,thank you my lenders and may God increase your capital to fund more loans. You have golden hearts. I wish you existed the time I schooled. I would have not gone through such tough challenges. I almost dropped out of school. Bye. Am so excited. comment image
