About Me

My country Kenya is full of what I would call traditional culture of diverse communities. In the community I live in, what we do best is cultural music. I'm actually a student of cultural music. The town I live in today is a tourist attraction where people from other countries come to view the famous flamingo birds. We love visitors so much and are ready to welcome them.
My four children have different kinds of interests in life. My first son have interest in online and digital business. The rest who are still in school also have their interests. My two girls want to do medicine, while my last born son wants to be in aviation.
During my free time, I like travelling and being around my family especially when not training on music. I love being with people and changing ideas.

My Business

I provide grocery foodstuffs and related home consumables in my business. Foodstuffs have always been in demand since I started my business. Although not much profitable especially at the level I now operate, I'm planning to increase my stock in order to attract a higher profit in the business. I chose food business because sales are constant even when there is an economic recession.
I incur costs for licenses at the beginning of the year to the local authority, and paying the rent for my shop.
I use my profits to pay school fees for my children, and reinvest whatever amount I may save. About 20% of my savings go to community aid. I'm in a business group where we help destitute children get education by raising some small amounts of money per person. I thank zidisha team for the good job they're doing to help the community.
Thank you and regards,
Esther Nyokabi.

    I highly appreciate for the loan that I have just completed. The loan really helped me realise high profit margins although I got challenges of sickness in my family resulting in late payment of the loan. I would wish to ask for another business loan to boost my grocery businesses. Thank you my lenders.

    I wish to thank my lenders for giving me a helping hand at this particular time. I want to utilise the money by increasing my stock of maize flour for my grocery shop. This will benefit me increase on the profit and therefore improve on my daily living and also help the community. I don't have enough words to thank my lenders but I pray that you may be blessed abundantly.

    I purchased two and a half bags of maize flour which is the staple food for our country. This was meant to give a difference in the profit margin I usually make. I have actually used some of my profits for charity in some communal water projects. This has also really helped me in the education of my children.
    My earnings have actually increased by approximately twenty five percent.

    I received my loan safely and that's a good reason to thank my lenders once again. I probably can't have enough words to thank my lenders but may God bless abundantly.


    I actually received $40 which I will buy maize flour for my grocery stock.
    Thank you once again my lenders.

    I am so pleased to get this loan from my lenders. This will surely add stock value to my grocery shop as I am planning to add more of maize flour.
    I really don't have enough words to thank my lenders but "THANKS A MILLION & GOD BLESS YOU ABUNDANTLY"

    I first of all want to thank my lender "BIG TIME" for the financial help that boosted my business. May God bless you all abundantly.
    The loan actually boosted my financial status and now that I have completed repaying, my stock is now in a better shape than it was before. I have no doubt that my children will have a perfect Christmas this year. I actually contributed $10 towards the digging of a community water well.
    During my free time now that children are out for school holiday, I am taking about two hours to train the nearby school's basketball team.
    As I apply for another loan, I once again want to thank YOU my lenders for having improved my life and the community welfare at large.
    Yours,
    Esther. N

    I say a BIG thank you to my lenders and may God bless you. I will buy grains (maize and beans) in order increase my grocery stock. It will help to improve my profit margin and thus improve the living standard of my family. As I grow, I'm willing to give back to the society in development programs. I once again thank my lenders for the loan.
