Dear Lenders,

Jackline let us know two months ago saying she would resume her payments in August. We are still waiting for her payment and meanwhile trying to contact her. We will update you once we know more.

Dear Lenders,
I wish to reschedule my loan repayment by adding some more time. My business is not doing well at these months of January and February and thus I have felt the need to reinvest the profits back to the business in order to stabilize the business at the moment. i am optimistic that the business will catch on well soon and I will be able and back on track in my repayment.

Habari lenders. Its my sincere hope that all of you are fine. Its a hot afternoon that I have gotten an opportunity to write to you. Internet services are not available here and therefore we struggle so much to access this rare service. My business is doing well. I have just offloaded a lorry of bread and am now packing them ready for distribution to my customers in other neighboring centres. The loan I got from Zidisha assisted me so much in my business as I was able to expand the room that I was initially using. We are experiencing dry weather conditions here and there is a lot of dust and wind. I will not forget to commend the good job that Zidisha are doing. Keep it up and may God bless Zidisha and all Zidisha team.

Hi Lenders,

My name is Achintya Rai

I went and met Jackline Muthoni Waithaka at her business premise on this Thursday (2nd Feb 2012). She has a small shop from where she sells packaged bread. She used the Zidisha loan to increase her stock (she offloaded around 860 packets of bread in front of me. When I asked her how long it’d take her to sell all these, she said “just one day”).

Jackline now wants to buy a motorbike so that she can supply to nearby areas. Right now she uses a bicycle to supply, but this limits her reach.

We reached Jackline’s place right before her supply truck arrived. It was impressive to see her offloading crates after crates of bread. Right now she is the only one supplying bread in the area so she has a comfy little monopoly going on. A bike would perhaps increase her sales manifolds.

Apart from selling bread, she also supplies water to people’s home. She collects the water from public bore-wells and supplies it to people’s home for a small fee.

Jackline has two little children, both in primary school.

My one regret after meeting Jackline was that in my pursuit for getting a picture of her working, I did not help her in offloading the crates. I should have. In fact I would have, had I not had the blessed camera in my hands.
