    Dear lenders thanks for your loan but the business is not very Good this time and I will delay in paying your loan in couple of month. We had a teacher strike in our county which was for about a month which affected my business of selling clothes to school students. I hope this will improve and start paying soon.

    Dear Mrs. Wanjiru,

    My respect for the people of Kenya has grown since working with borrowers. One way I show respect is to be a banker and trust in all of you. The other way is to wave your flag.

    More and more children are going to school, so school clothes will probably be a good investment. I am glad that you do repair work so that your neighbors can be proud in their appearance. You must do very good work that your business is increasing. Zidisha can be the bank, but it is your work that makes the business a success.

    I would be proud be elder sister.

    Best regards, Ann (namaste250)

      Thanks for your love for the people of Kenya and Africa in general giving your money to me and the rest of the borrowers is a very good gesture of love. Jesus give us the commandment that love one another as I love the church and also love your neighbor as you love yourself. The love you have shown to us can not be measured and is very great. My business has improved and I have new stock and am ready for the back to school with a lot of product s to offer my customers and hope to make more profit. Thanks Sister Namaste250

    Hi Marion,
    The time waiting for a loan is hard. It is a large loan, but you still have time. I always like to lend to tailors because if you work hard and have money for supplies, you can be very successful. I'll keep an eye on your loan. Best wishes, Ann

    Dear lenders am humble by your generous contribution towards my loan. I received the money early this week and I was very happy. I will be traveling to Nairobi City to purchase brow dry machine for my salon and cloths for my tailing business where I will get at a good price. Thanks so much Zidisha and all the lenders and partners
