Hi,

I’m Naroa Zurutuza, Zidisha’s Client Relationship Manager in Kenya. In my last visit to Githurai Progressive I had the pleasure to meet Cecilia Wanjeri, she hosted me with a smile in her face.

Mrs. Wanjeri’s business consists in the poultry business; she grows chicken to afterwards sell them.

When I visited her, she has just newly purchased 200 small chickens in her place. She used her first Zidisha loan to buy some equipment (the place has to be illuminated the whole day, thus, lamps are needed) and part of the food required to feed them (they it 24hrs so a large amount of food is necessary).
Taking into account the cost of buying the chickens and maintaining them for 6 weeks before selling them in local markets, her monthly profits is of around 15000KSH.

In the future, she would like to both start growing chicken for eggs and start purchasing rabbits (right now she only has a couple of them that she uses to feed her family).

I wish you all the best luck,

Naroa Zurutuza

Dear Zidisha Members,
Am currently hospitalized because I fell and broke my hand thus most of the proceeds from my business is being channeled through to meet my hospital expenses thus not in a position to repay the loan now but I will ensure to repay the loan after am from the hospital.

It's unfortunate that it has happened on me but I will work hard to ensure the loan is repaid on time hence facilitating other people to benefit.
