Dear lenders,

My name is Traci Yoshiyama and I am a Client Relationship Manager in Kenya. I recently spoke with Patrick and he informed me that he was admitted into the hospital for the past two months. He has fully recovered and is now back at work, but because he was unable to work while he was ill, finances have been challenging. He hopes that he can resume making payments soon.

Thank you lenders for your patience! We wish Patrick and his family all the best.

Cheers,
Traci

Hello Lenders,

My name is Vivien Barbier and I’m one of the Zidisha current client relationship interns for Kenya. Today, I visited Patrick and his business.

Patrick’s shop is small but full of supplies. He buys most of his product in Nairobi and then brings them using a public bus. He is also selling fresh pastries that are delivered to his shop everyday at 6am. His carful stock management allow him to never have to throw anything away.
Patrick’s has already one employee who takes care of the shop with him.

When he is not working for his business, he is studying “disaster management” at the aviation school. I was very surprise by these two things: first disaster management university program really exists and second that the aviation school was teaching something else than piloting a plan.

Patrick will finish his studies in March and he will then try to work for the government or a NGO.
