I contacted Christine, she is still very much committed to finishing her loan. Her business has been slow clients are not paying but she has assured me that she will clear the loan at once if her clients pay her.

I spoke to Christine as her Volunteer Mentor, she is very committed to finish her loan. The only challenge at the moment is that business has been slow for her but as soon as she receives some payments from her clients she will make repayments to her loan.

Dear Lenders. I greet you warmly in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. I just want to update you on my progress. My business has grown, and such I also thought of giving back to community . which supports my business. I donated assorted items ( basic needs) to the needy at an orphanage run by the catholic to supplement their effort. I took along with me my 2 friends and my children. I had to take my children with me as a way of teaching them to love and help the marginalised in society. It was awesome. I could have posted the pictures but my storage space in my phone is running out it can't accommodate images. I am now able to make 30% profit from 25% and my stock has increased after I got paid for the security uniforms I supplied to the firm. This month end I will be able to purchase another machine and employ another person to help me with work as customers keep increasing. I will finish paying my loan by next week before due date because the business is doing fine, steadily growing.

Hello Lenders. I hope you are all fine, I am fine too. I am here to thank u for my loan that u funded me, i am so indebted to you and i am doing everything to make my business a success so that i also help the less privilleged in society and take care of my family and myself. I am here to report to you that my business has been going on well and steadily growing. I make 25% profits and out of the profits I have managed to finish the order of uniforms for security guards. I have even managed to send one of my son back to school to do degree in business administration. I was late for few days to make my last payment due to the fact that my client paid me by cheque and it took 3 working days to clear. I have now advised my clients to pay by cash to avoid the same late loan payments in future. From now on I will make sure I am punctual on my loan repayment. My future plans are to buy land and build my own factory and I am banking on your continued support. Thank u so much, may God bless you all.

To all my lenders, i want to thank you so much for funding my loan and i want to thank Zidisha for creating this plat form for the less privilleged to have the opportunity to access the loans and venture into profitable ventures. The loan has helped me excel to higher heights and I can see myself doing great things in future. I have managed to supply 3/4 of the order for a security firm. My nxt loan will enable me complete the supply of the uniforms. From the profits I make I used part of it to pay for my son who has enrolled into Urniversity to take up business Administration degree and I am very proud of him and myself to have achieved such a milestone. I thank you all. May God richly bless you

Good evening lenders through Zidisha. Thank u so very much for the loan u funded me. Though the amount was less than what I was looking for, still it has made me service 3/4 of my order of making security guard's uniforms. The business is progressing well. I can never thank u enough. I am looking forward to getting a bigger loan to complete my order and purchase more materials. Thank u God bless u.

Christine Musende    May 17, 2018

Dear lenders. I appreciate you so much for the money you loaned me. I was able to buy more materials for the order I got for security guard uniforms though I am un able to supply the quantity required because of inadequate funds as the loan amount I got wasn't enough to cater for the complete order but the goodness is that I negotiated with them that I can deliver part and then finish the other part after they have paid me to which they agreed. I have continued making clothes for people that come with their own materials I charge them for labour only and also I make clothes and sell them to the public, that's why I am able to pay my loan on time. I would want to pay the current loan as soon as possible so that I can get a little more and be able to finish my order. I have inspired two of my neighbours and they have asked me to teach them the tailoring skill. I have shared to them about Zidisha and they got interested but I advised them to come up with a business where they will be able to make daily sales that's when I can bring them on board. They are in the process of setting up their businesses and I am there to help and encourage them. They are so eager. Schools have just opened here. I had a wonderful holiday with my children, we visited Chaminuka safaris where we saw animals like lion, hyena, giraffes, monkeys, buffallo, different snakes. We went on a cruise boat it was a nice experience. We came back the same day. I do spend money cautiously and carefully, within my budget owing to the fact that I have other financial responsibilities to take care of. Indeed I am so greatful to Zidisha for this nice initiative. Thank u all, who have made this initiative a success, may God richly bless u.

Christine Musende    May 8, 2018

Good morning Zidisha Team. I am sorry that for the first time I paid my loan 2 days later than the due date, this was due to the damage to my simcard for the handset I use, so I couldn't transact until I replaced it and was activated early morning today 8th may local time. I have always endeavoured to work hard and pay my loan on time, this incident was just an anticipated one. Bear with me. Thank you in advance for your understanding. Christine Nalupya.

Christine Musende    Apr 28, 2018

Darrel Burgan, thank u for responding, to my earlier message. I promise to put this money I have been loaned to good use so that I progress further. Each time I get the loan, i make sure I work hard and pay the loan on time and the profits push me further . Thank u so much Mr Burgan. Christine.

Christine Musende    Apr 24, 2018

Thank you so much to all my lenders for funding me. I am so thrilled and grateful to all of you. With this loan I hope to get an industrial sewing machine and this will help me to meet my customers needs. Thank you so much once more. May God bless you abundantly.

Hi Christine, I pleased to be supporting you in this loan. God bless your efforts, Nick

• Christine Musende    Apr 25, 2018

  Hi Nicky. Thank you for funding me, I appreciate your generosity. This loan will help me meet the needs of my customers. Like now I have an order to make school uniforms for a local school and this loan will go along in that area. I will always endeavour to work hard and pay back the loans I get from Zidisha and save some money and plough back into the business. May God bless you and so you may continue blessing the marginalised. I also pray for myself that as i work harder,I may one day become a funder through Zidisha and help people financially like you.

Hello Christine,
nice to be first one to contribute to your new loan here! Very small amount but as I get more repayments in next few days, will contribute some more. Wish you all the best.

Christine Musende    Mar 22, 2018

For you lenders to.see how my business is growing

Christine Musende    Mar 22, 2018

These are some of the clothes iam making.

Christine Musende    Mar 21, 2018

Hi Wild heart. The last loan I got, I just purchased some cloths, cottons, laces, zips and buttons. I did JumpStart my loan but I managed to raise enough money from the savings plus the k642 loan I got from Zidisha. really pushed me up. The capital is still little though I am progressing, I need some more funding to purchase more materials to push me far. The profits I made from the last loan, I paid my rent at the shop, saved a little for unforeseen challenges in the business. I am being cautious about the usage of funds because the capital is still little so I have to restrict myself on how to spend the money. Once money increases, I will be able to take my children for holidays and buy them gifts. I would want even to help some children in the neighbour hood who are less privileged to pay for their schools and buy them school requisites. The main aim of my getting loans is to empower myself and be self sufficient, support my family, give them good future, equip them with skills so they can be independent and sustain themselves.
