    Hi! Zidisha,I want to recommend this organization for its great role that its plays especially to businessmen/businesswomen,So far my business has been doing well,I have improved my transport or "Bodaboda" business.The cash that I was loaned by Zidisha worked a great deal indeed.I managed to get all the spare-parts for the repare of my motor-bikes.The labour charges was a bit high but I thank God I paid half the charge and was allowed to use them and so far I'm about to finish-up.The season is not all that good as the economy of our country is poor/low and the "bodaboda" sector type of a business is becoming challenged to me and.Hope to advance to a tuk-tuk type of a business.A new Tuk-tuk requires or costs Ksh450000/= and at hand I have ksh:250000/= so I'm desperate of ksh:200000/= if you loan this amount will have helped my vission a great deal.

    Hi! Zidisha team,I'm happy to tell you that the loan you loaned/sent me helped me so much.To hit the nail on the head,I used to the loan in repairing my motorbike.Up to date the motorbike is reliable and performs the best.It has also affected the number of customers hence high income.Wish to congratulate my donors who faithfully contributed to my loan especially Ann and Christine who have been encouraging and motivating me.So far I have worked extra hard and have managed to buy another motorbike-though second-hand.It is also functional and I have employed another Bodaboda boy to use it at the moment.This has improved my income and has positively affected my family,truely you ought to be encouraged.My family is all fine and to date is doing so well.It is my prayer that if all go well,I do repaire both two so that I raise my ladder of income.Thanks Zidisha for making it possible reach and empower us and in that way brighten my future.
